What I Learned on Vacation

1. I love being at home.

 This may seem strange to some people who would expect to hear something like, "I love exploring the world!", but it's true. I learned, while being away from home, that I love being at home. Yes, I love seeing the world and experiencing new things, but nothing beats hanging around the house. Home truly is where the heart is. It's where you can truly relax, be with your family (or your cats), and have everything on your own terms.

2. I'm kind of a snob, and I'm OK with that.

 I made (OK, Louie made) Super 8 give me a refund. The room was a little to... gross. Surprisingly, the guy behind the bullet-proof glass (that should have been our first clue that this hotel was NOT for us) refunded our $$. Then, we drove down the street and stayed at the Marriott. Much better :)

3. I'm a suburban girl.

I used to think I was a country girl. I grew up in a small town. I loved playing in the woods. I befriend all animals (except Muffins - sorry Muffins. It's just not working out). However, there's something about driving through the mountains of Vermont that really makes you miss seeing a Starbucks at every exit. I like convenience, what can I say?  I don't think you'll ever actually see me in a subdivision, but I can guarantee I won't be too far from the mall.

4. I'm tougher than I thought.

I was sick for 5 days of our trip. However, I camped, I walked around, I drove, I explored. And I lived.

5. As much as I complain about my husband being constantly plugged in, I'm very grateful for it.

He made his phone our own personal hot spot. We could get internet in the car so we could get directions. His phone has video and GPS. I could search for a campground, hotel, or restaurant while we were driving. AND we had Netflix in our tent. Sweeeeet!
