To celebrate this extended weekend, Mike and I are
headed up to our respective hometowns – Clear Lake / Mason City / Nora
Springs. We haven’t been up that way
since last Christmas and I’m pretty sure our families will incite a riot if we
stay away any longer!
As for costs, it’s a low-budget affair. Gas to drive the 250-mile round trip and a
mandatory afternoon treat at Taco Tico and Cookies Ect (it’s a Mason City thing
…). Each set of parents is providing
meals and/or lodging, which is much appreciated.
Our days will be spent visiting family, who are all
essentially based out of Cerro Gordo county.
Our time will also overlap with a visit from Mike’s sister and our 2
nieces and nephew, who we haven’t seen since Thanksgiving.
I am oddly looking forward to this trip. Despite the concentration of family, going to
our hometowns is never our first choice for a vacation. There’s many reasons for that, none having to
do with relatives. Maybe more on that in
a future post.

At any rate, work has been crazy busy as of late. Not only are we flooded with special projects
and larger issues, but we’re down a team member and have absorbed their
workload. I am in desperate need of
getting away to regain some balance.
I intend to not labor at anything but eating tasty food and
getting good sleep over the weekend.
What
are your plans?
