Fun old fashioned family vacation....

Gather round one and all. Let me tell you a little tale of the Watkins family vacation. You know the one... where it is too expensive to actually go anywhere thanks in large part to some certain foreign policies of every one's favorite president. Oh well, at least next year President Obama will be giving out free vacations to all Americans. Right? That's why I'm voting for him.

I do have 11 days off, starting tomorrow and extending until July 7th. The price of gas really isn't the only reason not to go anywhere. A very angry two year old does not like to travel and generally likes to live life by his own terms... and likes for everyone else to live by his terms. In addition, we are blessed with two wonderful dogs who everyone is clamouring to dog sit... so thanks again almighty ruler of the underworld... thanks for letting us borrow your hounds for 10-15 years!!! Also, I think we found your cat.

So we will do little things. Tomorrow we will finish pulling up carpet There is also a carnival in town so we will go to that. After that things are more uncertain: some time in the mountains, cleaning, naps, swimming, and a general neglect of personal hygiene (at least for me).

I want to try to keep this blog updated about everyday of this period. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, I have taken some mugshots of my children in case I decide that selling them on craigslist is the only humane option. Please don't call the cops that was only a joke.
