Whew... that was hard.

Well, today we just returned home from eight days of vacation.  Liz, myself and the three kids... no one else.

It almost killed me.

It was about the best vacation we've ever had.  We went to a small cabin right on the shores of Lake Ontario in the quaint little NY town of Oswego.  It was simply too much money and not enough time to go all the way home to WI and the shores of Lake Superior, so we compromised on a much closer Great Lake, hoping the return would pay off.

It did, let me tell you.  A great little place, right on the water... just enough room for the five of us... close enough to town to make frequent trips more convenient but far enough away to keep the hustle and bustle of the city far, far away.

We had Liz's NY family over for a cook out on Sunday (last), went to the Syracuse Zoo on Monday, the MOST (Museum of Science and Technology) on Wednesday, Fort Ontario on Thursday, and Liz's sister and kids over (again) on Friday.  Plenty of family time, not too hectic a schedule, very relaxing, and must cheaper than driving 2,400 miles over the course of four days in a pickup truck.  Only three hours away, with traffic.

I'm not kidding though... DAMN I'm tired.

More later...
