Another summer vacation has come and gone. I spent the summer working at my other job, being a parent. This means most days involved keeping my kids busy and out of trouble. We spent a lot of time at the Venice High School pool, at the beach and exploring Los Angeles. We also took a short, but sweet, road trip to visit my sister in Martinez, California (near Oakland), and friends in Santa Cruz. Because it was also MY vacation, I also tried to spend some time doing things that I enjoy, like cooking, reading and visiting with friends. How did you spend YOUR vacation?
