Yes, it's been awhile. Vacation is over and life calls once again. So back to the job, back to the grind, and back to the things that still make me want to be on a far-off beach with nothing to worry about but the SPF of my sunscreen. So to help myself and the rest of you out there who still feel vacation calling, how about we take our own mini vacation and spend some time with the Mosts and the events.
