Week Three

I went on vacation this last weekend. My husband and I went to Corpus Christi and spent a lot of time on the beach (a first for me). We got really sunburned and it was glorious. I did not want to come home at all. I do not see how I could have gone twenty one years without going to the beach. If you have not seen one yet, I suggest you go!
I think that traveling is something everyone should do. We are not particularly well off; in fact, we struggle quite a bit, but the world is filling up and we should see it before it is too late. There is so much culture and history and beauty all around us. It is amazing what you can find. My mother is always telling me how jealous she is of me because I travel so much; I keep telling her it is necessary to take vacations with those you love. I have only been three places but the journeys we have taken together have been the best times of my life. My husband and I went to Greece for our honeymoon, Alaska with our mother-in-law to see a brother's wedding, and this last weekend getaway. We are planning another trip this summer to Florida to attend another wedding. I look forward to that trip more than graduation :)

As my professor says, "There is traveling money, and there is money that you get from your job; the two do not mix."
