Three years ago Howard and I realized that life was never going to reach a state when we were un-stressed enough to take a vacation. So we started scheduling vacations and expecting the stresses to bend around them. In the past few years we’ve had an annual trip three or four days long. They’ve landed mid-book shipping, Mid-scramble to get a book off to print, mid-editorial emergency, mid-financial crisis, and any other mid you can think of. Slowly we’ve acquired some habits and habitual locations which make the vacations themselves much smoother. We’ve also learned that most things will not turn into disasters for waiting an extra week. Today was the first day of spring break for the kids. We put down all the work and headed for our escape in southern Utah. Family vacations matter.

I understand completely! My childhood is filled with happy memories of watching Walt Disney World being built, section by section. Even though my parents had to struggle for part of the year, they always managed to get us back there to see what was new.
So enjoy your Vacation, Taylers. Y’all will have memories that will last a Lifetime.
