Long weekends tend to make for the longest, shortest work weeks. It is a mental game all adults play in their minds. Long weekends, getaways, and time off is good. It is good to be off the grid. Take a trip where cell service is sketchy. Go to a location you have never been to before and see this beautiful country.
My dad and I took a few trips this summer and recently went to Ruidoso, New Mexico. Lots of family and friends said it’s a great place to visit. The weather is great, lots of food choices, mountains, fresh air, and friendly people.
Traveling is not hard and doesn’t have to break the bank account. Hole in the wall restaurants are normally the best and cheap. Airbnb’s can be very reasonably priced, you just have to make the time to go.
Making time seems hard and sometimes impossible. Work, family, and adult responsibilities get in the way. No matter what, it is important to make that time and enjoy life. Taking those 3 damn days can make a world of difference.
How do you determine if you have had a good vacation? For us it is a feeling of being gone for a week when we get back home and only gone for a few days. It is sitting on a porch with no care in the world. It is having a good meal in a place you have never been.
Time away from the real-world is important. You need to check out of life and into peace. Take a book. Not a kindle, or computer, or tablet. Something you physically have to hold in your hands and read. Leave your phone on the charger where you cannot reach it.
We make life pretty complicated. We keep adding activities, accepting invites, and going to places we have been a 100 times before. Break out of your bubble, buy the plane tickets, take the cruise, and turn off technology. Take 3 damn days for yourself and your family. It will make all the difference.
“Life is about buying the ticket for a ride you have never rode. You have no idea what to expect. New adventures will make it worth the price of admission.” – Jeremy Workman
