I am now home... I have had my vacation... I am happy... and now i am ready to get back to working all the time and school soon...
The past week has been busy and relaxing and fun all at the same time... On Wednesday I went to see the doctor about this cold/respiratory congestion thing I had going on and he gave me the out I had been looking for for work so i could get a vacation... 2 days off starting on Wednesday, not exactly the time i wanted but it would do. So i went to see my manager and I told her about the 2 days but then i told her since i had worked Mon and Tues and it just made things worse maybe i could just take the rest of the week off and start back the next week as scheduled. and she said yes, which surprised me a bit, but i gladly took it. Then it was back home to pack up for the next 5 days of camping up on lake Erie!!!
We left early Thurs morning and arrived in Sandusky area around noon. The sun was shining and the weather was warm...what more could i ask for?
Surprisingly enough the water is actually warm and it is extremely shallow for a ways out.
Most days we had breakfast and would then hit the beach (which was a half mile from our campsite) and 11 or 12. Be there till 3 or so and then head back, shower and eat around 4 or 5. Oh i forgot about the quick nap i took between showering and eating!!! Always a bonus.

All in all this was a grand vacation to take on little money. We had water and sand and sun. what more could we ask for. I know it doesn't compare to myrtle beach or anything but it worked for me. I got away from work and I relaxed in the sun.
Now its back to work tomorrow, and school and my babysitting job starts in 2 weeks, and i think maybe I am finally just about ready for them.
And here are some pics...
