Remember those great old family vacations? You know the ones where you would load the kids into the station wagon and you'd head off for a ten hour drive with no air conditioning. I remember laying on the floorboard in the back of the car on the "hump". It was the best place in the world to nap. It was warm and there was a steady hum that was very soothing.

Nobody had to wear a seat belt and you were free to roam the car. You'd drive until you wore out and you'd stop at the next motel. There were maybe three suitcases and you had everything you could want.

Today's vacations are so much more complicated. There's the planning, the reservations, the mileage and the over abundance of suitcases that barely fit into the one ton SUV.

We are currently on vacation in Breckenridge, Colorado. Our girls are skiing for the first time and they went up the lift and skied down on their first day. It was so much fun watching them cruise down the slope hanging onto our ski poles.

All is well and I will post a few photos from Breckenridge in case you have never been here.
