Day 2 in the Yukon
Well, we've been here for 2 days now and I'm already feeling relaxed and refreshed.
There's just something about this place that seems to immediately wash away all the stress and worry and whatnot that's been going on for the last while. Up here, there's no work stress, no fastpitch team politics (which, although I've "resolved" them, the resolution has now unleashed a rather unpleasant litle war which is only just beginning), no traffic (well, not much, I only honked at 1 person yesterday).
So I don't have too much to report, it's been pretty quiet so far, which is how I was hoping. Well, quiet with the exception of the noisy family that we're staying with. But I do love the mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and grandmother-in-law, so the combination of loudness and impossibility to get a word in edgewise...ness and the fact that it turns my wife into a bit of a shouting scatterbain is perhaps more charming than annoying anyway.
The aforementioned individuals (with the exception of Nathan, the brother-in-law) are off at church, so I'm watching Noel before we head out to brunch at 11. After that, we're going to drive off to Skagway Alaska. While the town itself is rather neat, it's the drive that I'm looking forward to as it's perhaps one of the most spectacular drives I've ever taken in my life.
Yesterday was very nice. All I did was spend time with Noel, have a nap, drive around Whitehorse for a bit, have dinner and go back to sleep. It was really quite a nice way to kick off what will hopefully continue to refresh and relax me.
That's all. Should have some pictures to post soon once we're back from Skagway.
