Mini-Vacay

One of my BFFs emailed me last week with a brilliant idea. After reflecting on how motivated and productive she was at work right after coming back from vacation, she said,

"It hit me...we should have vacations more often AND on a regular basis! In order to have balance between work and play perhaps they should be frequent short breaks. It occurred to me that each week we should have a couple of days off. My vision was shattered when I realized that's what weekends are. Grrr."

Now she's on a mission to develop a mini-vacation mentality for weekends. Like, telling your co-workers on a Friday afternoon, "I'm going on vacation for two days!" or "See you when I get back from vacation!" I'm all about supporting my friends. So, here are a few pics from my latest mini-vacation.

My parents came to visit.



And we went to the Balloon Glow in Forest Park.




The next day there were sky divers.



And a hot air balloon race.






Awesome.
