It's 5:30 am and I'm unable to sleep. After almost 2 full weeks of food, family, and fun, my mind is starting to rev up for the upcoming return to work and beyond. So instead of spending the rest of the morning tossing and turning, I'm going to try and be productive.

It's been a rather intense vacation. Intense in a good way. I feel that I've really run the gamut of emotional experiences and feel as if I could use a vacation from my vacation. Family vacations can be like that, I suppose.

I'll post more of an update later, but I just wanted to say that I had a great time, everyone. Watching Parker with her cousins and being near my siblings were worth the trip alone. Everything else was bonus!

They may call Disney World the happiest place on earth, but I designate that title for any place where my family congregates, whether that be the condo, Steak and Shake, or a swimming pool.
