Staycation 2025 started the afternoon of the 3rd. J worked a half-day and I finished up my work on Wednesday. We look forward to our staycations because we love our home. It’s where we invest our time and money. It’s where are grown children return for family dinners, holidays and random visits.

When change happens it takes me a bit to reset my schedule. The change? I officially started my job…again. It’s the same job and yet it’s different in a lot of ways.

My oldest P, loves to travel. Last year he and L went to Italy for a month. The year before that they visited northern Scotland and this year he decided to stay stateside. He and L visited St. Augustine, FL, Disney, Key West and New Orleans before getting home. I joined them for the last few days before L had to fly home to Argentina. We decided to head to Philadelphia and visit the Museum of the American Revolution.
