Just last week I had a wonderful trip with my wife and kids.
It was really great getting to get away from the daily grind and spend the time I wanted to with my family.
For our little vacation we decided to visit a theme park that was in a town near me. It wasn’t too far from the house and so it was great to just be able to head over and get away from the daily grind for a while. We went and played all the games and rode on all of the rides. Even some big and scary looking roller coasters! I will admit that I am a bit embarrassed to say that the kids seemed less nervous on the tall and looming rides than I did. I was pretty nervous. We decided to finish off the day with a nice little picnic in a lunch area inside the park. We were originally going to eat outside, however it started to rain and we headed inside. The day had been long and hot and so I was relieved when I saw a large commercial HVAC system on the wall. Good luck was on my side because I noticed that I happened to be standing directly under the a/c vent and I could feel all the wonderful cool air cooling me down from all the immense heat outside. After the rain started, I was concerned that the kids might get fussy about waiting until the rain stops. However, to my surprise they seemed just as eager to take a break from the heat and relax in the a/c. It was nice when the rain stopped and we returned outside. When the time came to leave, it was hard to go back to reality. I couldn’t help but to be depressed at the thought of breathing in the stale indoor air quality of the office.
