FINALLY...we have taken a vacation as a family. However, with the economy how it has been, we decided we could only do a stay-cation this year. Not really a good thing when you run a business out of your home and your husband is within driving distance to his job -- we both ended up working. I finally decided not to check my e-mail or even bring my cell phone with me. This was a vacation I needed to take and was determined to erase thoughts of business from my mind.
We were lucky enough to get some tickets to a few events and actually left the comfort of our own backyard to go enjoy some real vacation time.
Our first excursion took us down to Chicago to see the Chicago Fire game against LA Galaxy, and we were able to get enough tickets to bring my brother and his family. Unfortunately, Beckham got himself a suspension in an earlier game and was not playing. LA definitely did not miss their all-star player as they ended up winning. It was still a very enjoyable evening away and spending some time with my brother and his family. Not to mention, our son particularly enjoyed watching his favorite sport - soccer.
