My employer, like many others, mandated a 1 week furlough this year.
So we decided to take a vacation to MN and relax for a week. The kids
stayed with their aunt and uncle for a couple nights, which was nice
for Jen and I. We found some nature/hiking areas around the twin
cities while sans kids.

 I wanted to get some boating time in, but alas my family unit is not
so interested in that sort of thing. Maybe next time.

 It's back to work tomorrow. I'm happy to have a job to return to,
that's for sure. There's lots to keep me busy these days.
