Coming Down

It wasn't until I went away that I fully understood how much I needed a break.  Now, I can only hope to maintain this feeling and take a bunch of mini vacationts to last me to next year.  We started planning next year already.  We are going back to Port Elgin. 

I am pretty stoked for the fall.  At work, we have a large job fair planned for second career grads.  This means a lot of work but awesome partners like the Literacy Network.

I also have tickets to see the Dali Lama.  Dream come true, strike that off the bucket list.

Oh yeah, and that paper on Manufacturing Diaspora that a I hope to present at a conference soon.  But that can wait until next week to finish it off....

VACAY

We finally have taken a vacation.  We are in Port Elgin, a place I am very found of, my grand parents owned a converted school house just outside the town and every summer and family holiday was spent here.  It has always been a goal of mine to take my family here.  It has the most beautiful sandy beaches.  We spent Wednesday just maxing and relaxing at the beach.  Some one forgot to put sun screen on (me) and has been wearing a baseball cap for the past day or so.  Nice.

I should try to post a link so you can see for yourself how lovely this place is.  I think it is unanimous, we will be back next year.http://www.saugeenshores.ca/
