We took our first family vacation last week. We traveled all the way up to Potato Lake in Minnesota (up by Bimiji). Jay traveled rather well for the seven hour drive there. We left late morning on Thursday and arrived at the cabin around 6pm. Our friend Pat was there with his girlfriend, Manni and her little girl, Breann. (Pat's step-dad owns the cabin.) Our friend Adam rode up with us. We did get into the lake and swim for a little bit Thursday night.
Matt, Tabitha, and Tabitha's kids, Zoe and Austin, arrived very early Friday morning. On Friday, we spent time in the boat tubing, riding and some of us went swimming. We did quite a bit of the same on Saturday. We watched some movies and the boys played the board game Axis and Allies. (A WWII game.) Saturday night we also had a bonfire where Manni and Breann had s'mores for the first time. Manni said they were much better than the cereal.
Sunday we spent the morning out on the lake again. Most of us left shortly after lunch to go home. Pat, Manni and Breann stayed to clean up the cabin a little, but were leaving very early Monday morning.
Jay did pretty well on the car ride home. He didn't sleep as much, but we all made it home. We spent today recovering from vacation. Jay and I slept most of the morning. We started doing some laundry, but it will take a couple of days to get caught up on that. We also went for a walk, regardless that it was still pretty warm and very sticky out.
We're very glad we were able to go on vacation and that we were able to spend time with our friends.
