For the next 12 days my family and I are "getting away". Thanks to some friends from Chicago, we are staying at a condo on an island surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico (Don Pedro Island to be exact).
On the island we pack our days full of sun, relaxation (running, reading, playing), dolphin watching, lizard catching, and body surfing (rough, I know). The best part of this trip is that we completely "unplug"
...no cell phones, no internet, no distractions...
We have made this our family vacation for the last 3 years and have some of our best family memories (our kids love hanging out with Captain Red Beard). This island get-away is an opportunity for us to refresh ourselves, re-calibrate, and rest in what is most important: each other.
How do you refresh yourself? What do you do to keep your family connected in the midst of a busy life?
