Summer Vacation 2016. Back in the dead cold of winter we decided to splurge this year and rent a house for an entire week. We have never rented a vacation house for an entire week before, so the cost and commitment was a bit daunting at first. We made the reservation and then waited through a very busy spring and summer.
The day finally arrived and we rolled out for an uneventful 2 day drive. The rest of the story is difficult to put into words. So, I'm just gonna say that this trip was good for the soul. I was able to share some parallels between this island and Bonaire, with the family. That was good. Getting the 3 of us to Bonaire is pretty cost prohibitive, and I was glad to be able to share the vibe with them.
