Eng. We're back! The kids sure put together an interesting vacation and the rest of the contract continues. » The vacation started the morning after school stopped — early! I was to drive and they would navigate. The plan called for us to travel south. The first night destination unknown, but a long day of driving the first day. The pattern they had planned unfolded quick- ly. No conflict in the car! Afterall, they planned the trip. Breakfast and lunch we would make. Dinner was to be select- ed by one family mem- ber in rotation. That evening meal became a central focal point each day. "No their food preference. The budget concern was continually expressed but tempered with the “it's so cheap in the States". The first day was long but music from the Beach Boys and count- less others helped. D. saw us in Williamsburg looking at history and going to Busch Gardens for rides and entertainment. On the third day we woke up on the beach at to understand that the theme for the vacation was the beach. ers and the relaxers. Each morning the beach umbrellas were lined up at the high tide mark, the sun scorched, the sun screen applied, and the sun worshippers lay on the beach and the surf lovers played in the rollers. Each day unfolded like the other. The self- made breakfast and lunch. The uninfluenced evening meal after a day on the beach, an evening of golf or shopping, and all this within budget! And no conflict! After the stay we had to change pace and begin the trip home. The plan called for a leisure- ly pace. The first day ended as we bumped in to a person whose uncle I went to school with and the kids were amazed how small a world it is. Then early the next day the vacation changed. My wife start- ed to drive. Soon it became apparent that she "smelled the barn" and the pace quickened as she started to go for home. We arrived home as the sun was setting. What a pleasure to sleep in your own bed. The next day was our last day of vacation and we spent it at home. We started off with a family meeting over breakfast. We agreed that the vacation had gone smoothly. The participa- tive approach had worked very well. We budget. We all learned more about our social contract.
