Back from our vacation

We were at Santa's Village from June 21 through June 23. We were going to stay one more day but it started to rain the afternoon of the 23rd and it looked like it was going to continue into the next day. So, we left after lunch on Thursday, June 23. We thought we'd get home about 6 PM but we didn't count on getting stuck in an 11 mile traffic jam going through Boston. We spent about an hour getting through the city and got home around 7 PM. At least it was still light and the rain had let up as we got home. No matter where I've been, it is always good to get home. And there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed.

We enjoy going to Santa's Village at this time of the year because it's not crowded. In many ways, it seems like they opened the park just for us. Because there are so few customers and we go multiple days, the ride operators and the people who run the concessions got to know us. It's such a friendly place. But the thing I like the most is how relaxed it is. No one is rushing to get in front of you and everyone (customers included) is helpful and pleasant. It's good to be home but it's also nice to have a relaxing place to go when we're not home.

Looks like fun, but I would have insisted on getting my photo in the purple car behind you! So good to have fun days with the kids and good memories too.
Smile today. :)
