I got back last Friday from my 3 week vacation out to California to go see friends and family. It was a very nice vacation indeed.
I almost hate calling it a vacation though, because it wasn't like I was taking a break from working or anything out here. I guess it was more of a visit than a vacation.
Whatever it was, I had a very good time. I was very happy to see some friends and even happier to see my family again.
The weather wasn't too nice for the first week and a half, unfortunately. Mostly rain, wind and overcast the entire time - But that still beats the weather out here in Tennessee. I will gladly take a rainy, foggy, dreary day in California anytime over the freezing cold, ice and snow out here right now.
I got to see the ocean again as well! Which was absolutely amazing. I didn't feel like I was stuck in the middle of nowhere anymore .. I was finally back on the edge of the world.
Christmas was nice. My family and I were all together again under the same roof for one day at least. We spent the day up at my grandpa's house overlooking the ocean. It was nice falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves again.
New Years was nice as well. I spent New Years Eve out in "the valley" at a friends place. Although everyone had a good time eating, drinking and chatting away .. I feel like the whole thing was a bit lackluster. Overall it was a very quiet event and everyone went home fairly early. I think we're all getting a bit too mature in our "old" age, haha.
So that was about it ... The time went by pretty dang fast and a part of me wishes that I had never left, but I guess Im happy to be back in Tennessee. I have a lot of things coming up in this new year, which I am very much looking forward to.
