Hi Everyone. Sorry I've been MIA. I like trip reports to be a happy place but I also want to explain my absence because I don't want to seem flaky. And I don't want to be over dramatic, just truthful, because I believe being truthful helps other people. Anyway, I've been suffering from depression...well really for most of the summer. Like my entire life, but I've been going thru a bad patch lately. I fought thru it my vacation and a lot of the Summer and this past month I just retreated. I haven't done much of anything...including things I enjoy, such as reading everyone's trip reports. I try really hard to not let my feelings effect my family and sometimes, it takes all the energy I have to keep everyone fed and happy...and this is one of those times. It can be really tiring pretending all the time...I should know, I've been doing it all my life. Anyway, I do seek treatment...I think my issue with my latest bout is that I've been on the max dose of a med that has worked really well for me and it finally stopped. I know have to find something different and it's a tiring and trying process...but I keep going because what else can you do?
In the meantime, I am looking forward to catching up on everyone's vacation and finishing my trip report for anyone who is still following along.
Thanks for listening...off topic I know
Up next, Jack's birthday!
AgreedJenrose- Taking care of yourself comes first! I'm enjoying your TR, and as we share details about our trips and tell about our families, we become friends!
Can't wait to hear about Jack's Birthday!

Last Full Day
[I was looking very forward to my maple bacon donut and on my last day I finally had one. It was very good. A nice little shop. Had it just been DH and mine we probably would have stopped a few times over our trip for a coffee and donut. But with three kids it becomes more of a hassle than it's worth. Everyone wants something different or they pick something and don't like it. If it's only one person, it's not a big deal, but when you times it by 5 it gets expensive.
