What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the mind of a Macrose

podcast as always. I am your host Mike Milner and I am coming to you fresh off of

a vacation. It's good to be back actually. The only work that I did on vacation was for the

podcast which was beautiful and it was a nice change of pace for me because most of the time when I'm on

vacation or traveling I'm doing work and still trying to keep this business running and

it was nice to have a week with the family.

We went to Bethany Beach, Delaware.

It was a huge group of us in our condo slash apartment slash I don't know what you want to call it it was

myself and Mel and Bell's three kids and then her oldest brought a friend and

her middle child brought a friend so there were seven of us and then I also

had my family there so in one condo slash apartment or whatever it was my, my oldest sister and her twin boys, my nephews, who are both 10.

And then in another apartment, it was my sister and my other other sister I guess my older not oldest and her fiance

So we had a squad there and it was just first of all the weather was amazing and it was we could not have asked for a

better week to be on the beach and altogether and we had a it was just really nice to fully disconnect. In fact, my my iPhone just told me that my screen time for the week was only three hours per day on average and I think my normal is typically like seven and that's probably a terrible thing but that's usually my average is like seven hours a day.

And so to be down that amount just kind of

was a nice little testament to being fully present

and engaged.

And we were very active.

We did a lot of stuff in just a week.

It feels like it flew by.

We did a water park.

We did this really cool thing where we got to see various animals.
