Last weekend SB and I traveled six hours in the same car as my parents to spend two days with our extended family. We even slept on an air mattress in the same room as my parents. While this lack of privacy may have at first sounded unpleasant for two home-bodied introverts like ourselves, the weekend proved powerfully fun.
- We sat up every night, four generations of our family, chatting about a very wide variety of topics and often laughing hysterically. This was quality time in the truest sense of the word.
- We sat by the water and took in a beautiful sunset (again, four generations together!)
- We ate indulgently at a pot luck of home-cooked dishes.
- We delighted in and stared at our youngest relative, my niece, only three months old.
- We ate saltwater taffy and ice cream and drank local brews.
- We had abundant time to read for fun.
- We did not use a computer once!
