I really need a vacation. I keep running into NpTechers posting vacation photos and blog posts. What are your summer vacation plans? If it isn't vacations, it's photos of restaurant and a fun evening out. Perhaps this is the result of Summer mixter at Google headquarters a few weeks back. More buzz here.

When they take vacations, they vacate! During this 90 minute cycle we move from higher to lower alertness and our energy waxes and wanes in these cycles throughout the work day. Another thing I noticed is that Fins have figured out work/life balance. Also, they seem to put good boundaries around “work” time and free time.

After one of the best meals of my life at Casa Lucio I'm back from a 2-week vacation in Spain, and wanted to share some of my reflections before it all fades away into the routine of everyday life. Time I don't remember the last time I had a two-week vacation, but wow is it different than a weekend away. Highly recommend.

It’s true. I went to Wyoming and learned that I am an elitist when it comes to national parks. I like my parks hard to access, sparsely populated, and minimal in services. It’s an uncomfortable truth which is forcing me to examine my arguments for inclusivity, access, and populism in museums.

Then you always know when your next break is, which is super helpful to the tired part of you that is looking forward to the next vacation. Next, consider vacation days.
