What to do with vacation time?

Thanks for all the different suggestions. Mainly it just seems like a lot of unexpected time to use over a short time period since I wasn't planning on doing anything until winter (not that I'm complaining!). So I think I'm going to spend 5 days in Texas and visit my parents then take another 5 day minivacation and just enjoy putting around Tucson or maybe drive up to Flagstaff and enjoy the cooler weather!

I think visiting your folks, and maybe starting a "family history" scrapbook, or an oral history project with them or any of the older generation could be fun!

My family is so far away from everyone! They all live in Brownsville, I lived there until I was 18 and moved to Arizona. It seems like everyone on PT is hours away from where my family lives.

I take what I call "mental health" days, usually on Fridays!

I love the idea of a "mental health day"

Yeah I know what you mean. I live in Harlingen, like 30 miles away from Brownsville, and it seems like nobody knows where that is on the map. I doubt I'll be able to meet you or anything, but it's cool to know I'm close to a PTer!
