Back from Vacation

We drove the almost-7-hour-drive back to Nashville from Destin today. It's sad to end such a wonderful vacation, but I'm also excited to get back to my team at FoxyCart as we always have a ton of work to do.

This is probably my favorite picture of the trip, which I took last night as we waited for our table at Boshamps Oyster House. When the kids are playing in hammocks and sand and you have a beautiful woman by your side, a 45-minute-wait is no big deal at all.

The trip was fantastic! We ate like kings and queens the whole time. Here's the meal I had that night—a red snapper with shrimp, greens, and mashed potatoes. It was fantastic! Sorry, the lighting was a bit low.

We had a blast at the beach and the pool every day. Here are a couple shots I took from the pool a few days ago. I was enjoying listening to Cryptonomicon at 3X speed on Audible while watching the kids (as Vinay Gupta said, you should be reading cyber punk).




I may have gone a little overboard with the "adult drinks" but it sure was fun.

@corinnestokes doesn't even like beer, so I drank those beers all myself. :) Each day I'd fill up my thermos, which I previously discovered holds exactly two beers, and head to the beach or pool with the family. Such a good time. Between the two of us, we finished off a bottle of champagne for mimosas and a bottle of tequila and margarita mix while making a sizable dent in a couple boxes of wine we brought with us from home.

I'm happy to be home but also so happy to be in a solid financial position with a paid off house to fully enjoy these vacations, knowing we've worked really hard for many years to earn them.

I hope you've had a great week as well and can an enjoy a vacation of your own to recharge, refresh, and reset.

Also, my cryptocurrency holdings (mostly BTC, STEEM, and BTS) are doing crazy well lately. Happy times indeed. :) While on vacation I was getting a lot of private messages from friends who want more information on how to get involved in cryptocurrency. I outlined some ideas for a series of videos for beginners. Hopefully I can carve off enough time on the nights and weekends (while not ignoring my family) to put them together. Stay tuned. :)
