The air feels almost tropical, dripping with moisture. The temperature reads 93 on the car thermometer. I’ve had this internal debate about whether we should take a vacation. The truth is I’m not good about vacations. I grew up in a family that worked really hard—like never take a day off hard. And I just never learned how to relax. I’m practical by nature and can easily reason that the money we would spend to stay in a hotel could be put to better use to pay for the new roof. This is true. But it is also true that we haven’t been on vacation in over a year and maybe we need to play.
