The After-Vacation Blues

You know that feeling of let down after a big vacation? It’s a bummer. You plan the vacation, can’t wait to go on it, count down the days and then before you know it you’re on that vacation and then before you can utter “ohhhhh I looooovvve vacation”–it’s over. Like Christmas when you’re a kid. You might have even been ready to take a vacation from your vacation and to embrace your non-vacation life. But inevitably, reality will set-in, life will settle back into its routines and it’ll all seem a bit mundane compared to the fabulous adventure you just had. It’s like a major case of the Mondays. So I thought to cheer myself up I’d relive some of my favorite moments from our recent trip to New Orleans. Since it was quite a long vacation and we managed to do a lot of amazingly awesome things that I’m sure you’re dying to hear about, I’m gonna spread the wealth out over a few posts. Lucky you.

Wow.

It’s a beautiful day and I’m cruising down the road with the windows down singing my favorite song (you know what I’m talking about). I’ve just been to the bank to deposit my paycheck (best feeling), I’ve had a productive day and I’m feeling pretty good. Then I glance over at the passenger seat to find that I decided to drive off with a little souvenir from the bank.
Seriously.This is the THIRD time I’ve done this.Is this just me or have any of you ever done this?
Please say yes. I’m starting to seriously wonder about my ability to be out and about in the world.
