I’ve talked a lot about having the college kids home, and truly, we love it!

But after traveling for two days to visit family in Massachusetts, enjoying five crazy nights of holiday revelry, and driving back through the rain for a couple more days, all that family time left us looking for well, a little space.

We found it on Sunday, on an uncharacteristically sunny day, by taking a group trip to the YMCA. Jim and one college child stayed inside and used the equipment, while I got outside for some fresh air.

I may have been the winner on this one. Or it may have been the other college kid, who stayed behind and had the house to himself.
