A 14 day vacation is just what the family needed. It takes about six days just to untether from work. It's amazing how much time we spend thinking of work even when we're not at the office. It took six days for me to finally unplug. It took Valerie about nine days. She thought it might not happen at all. The best part of the holiday is when you finally unplug and look around and the whole world is waiting to say, "hi!"
