Vacation!

I needed a vacation! I really didn't know how much until I was away from my normal day-to-day. I like what I do, but there is a "rut" that is good to get away from now and then.

The doctor I work for took a week of vacation, and I would have had very little to do during that time. It happened to coincide with Josh's birthday, so I quickly made plans to take a trip to see him.

On the flight down, we had some rough weather. We had to fly through a thunderstorm in order to land. I have had some bumpy flights, but never experienced "drops" before. Several times during the decent, the whole plane dropped. I was sitting above the wing, so I could see the wing bouncing! Everyone in the plane squealed like school girls, then laughed once we were flying smoothly again. I was listening to classical music on Sirius, and the selection was very animated, almost circus-like--very fitting to the flapping and bouncing the plane was doing. Call me weird, but I enjoyed it! (I had Dramamine in me, so it didn't make me airsick.)
The train ride was fast and interesting, with the exception of a "homeless" man that solicited funds from the passengers. I just acted like everyone else and ignored him.

I have had a great time so far. I love spending time with Josh and Hannah, but it is also nice to have some days with very little to do. I will post some pictures once I am home.
