Vacation is always a problem, but we try to take as much of the winter off
as we can. We have livestock to care for so usually long term trips are
out. We take a lot of short trips for a week or two at a time
at least once a month in the off season. We are thinking about taking a
couple of week off in September and going to the northeastern part of the
country to enjoy the colors, but not sure when peak season is. I have
always figured I gained more by the time off that what it cost us money
wise. In the summer we do first of the week fishing and short camping,
backpacking trips here in Iowa, I love the parks in our state, very well
maintained and great DNR people to keep everyone safe. We have backpacked
for over 40 years and really love taking off over the hill and seeing what is on
the other side. My Dad and I started backpacking when I was quite young
and after I got married we have always tried to take a few trips every
year. My Kids think it too much work, O'Well. We just hire someone
to do chores and if we miss a market we will survive. This business is
very hectic in the summer and thing work better for us when we take some mental
breaks from the work, it isn't going away even if you are gone.
