Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody After the Show podcast,
which is brought to you by Omaha Steaks, which Dad
would probably love. I know I would, and I'm a
dad and I love steak and so Omaha Steaks dot
Com has something special for Father's Day, and when you
get to the end of the podcast, we have a
code for you to use to save money on your
purchase for Dad or whoever you want to buy the
(00:20):
stakes for. Really, so you know, it is summer, it's
a vacation season. We were talking about that during the
show this morning, and I wanted to share something with
anybody who is is struggling with the fact that, you know,
maybe maybe you're down on yourself because you don't have
enough money to take the entire family on vacation this year,
or you know, maybe you just are not able to
break away for work or for whatever reason. There actually
(00:43):
are ways to, you know, approach it, and they're kind
of like the day trip thought. But I'm going a
little bit deeper than that, is that if you're going
to do something that's more of a staycation, change your environment, yeah,
because that will make a little bit of a difference.
If you just stay at home as your staycase, and
it's not going to feel like a vacation now. No
matter how much you love your home, it's the same
(01:04):
four walls that you're in every single day. It's where
you go, you go to work, you come home, and
that there's just something about that that just is not vacation.
If you actually go see something you've never done before.
Sometimes just get.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Out of the house, get out of town.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So I almost think of those as many vacations, and
I think about that. Jody and I do this recently,
and I think about when I was a kid and
my parents would do something, you know, very similar. It
would just be the get out of the house. And
to me, today's equivalent of that is get out of
the house and get away from your screen, because you
really will get that peace of mind, even if it's
(01:38):
just for one day, you'll get that feeling of that break.
Jody and I did this, you know, just recently. We
decided to go to a restaurant that we hadn't been
to ever, and really I just wanted to go somewhere
with a little waterway, and the restaurant overlooks, you know,
the water, and so we just got in the car
and we drove for about forty miles and we went
and we had lunch and it was fun to hang out.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Think it was my favorite part of that is that
we didn't decide until do it until like midday, and
on the way there, we realize this place closed it too. Oh,
And I said, we're going to have to let them
know if we're going to roll in there at one
twenty one, twenty whatever, one o'call. I don't know. I
just said, I said, let's make sure they know we
(02:21):
understand you close it too. So if if this is
not a good idea to seat us, we understand that.
And you did tell them that, and they said.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
What she said, as long as we know what we
want to order pretty soon, that's okay with them.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
We don't take it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
But what's what's funny, and that's this is a different
podcast altogether. This is not the direction I was going
with this. But you know, the to me, if a
restaurant's open till two most restaurants I've been to, they
know they're open to too, and they know that their
people are going to be around a little bit longer,
and you just you stop accepting, you know, you stop
accepting guests at closing time. It's just what you do, right,
(02:58):
I get not walking in five minut it's before closing time,
but you know, a half hour forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, it was still open, I.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Know, but I just wanted to mention where we we
realize you close soon. Yeah, we're not going to be
a three hour situation.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I wanted them to know. Yeah, and we were. And
you could tell. You could tell they must have had
a really busy lunch because.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, before we seat, you do you know what you want?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's like, no, I've never been here, right, But it
was just it was fun to get away, you know.
It was just it's, you know, a part of a
restaurant we've never been to before, a drive that we've
never been on before together.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was just nice.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And I know that was four an afternoon, but really
I felt refreshed when you and I got back home.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah. It's like a reset, reset your normal surroundings, which
resets your brain a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And so I guess that's the reason that I bring
that up is my parents were really good at that too,
because there were some years where vacation I know was
hard for them to say, you know, for there's only
one year I can think of that we didn't go
to the beach. But you know again that was they
did that one on the that one on they did
that one on the cheap. If the condos are not
as expense, we're not as expensive then the in fact,
(04:13):
they weren't condos, they were motels. Yeah, you know that
back then as they are now. But but they were
really good about getting the.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Car, we'll go do something. They would.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
They didn't have the confines of smartphones or screens. They
weren't worried about us using all that, although the TV
was on a lot of times in the house. But
just to be able to get in the car, go
and have a different just a different change of scenery
is really enough for mental health to me, to give
you a little bit of a break. Even if you're
(04:44):
in a position that you can't really take a full
vacation for whatever the reason.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I think some of the best vacations end up being
those years when families do that sort of thing. I
would go spend summers a week if I was lucky,
a whole week with my cousin Candice and Crystal, A
stayed away. You know, I got to go out of
state and all we did was I was Actually they
had very full schedules their parents. You had them in
(05:11):
synchronized swimming, and they had this lesson and that lesson,
and so I would be riding in the car with them,
you know, doing their stuff with them, or I'd just
be hanging out waiting for them to be done. So
their lives continue, their summer plans continue. But I was
just the tag along. It was always really fun. We
always had a lot of fun together. But that didn't
cost my family anything except to get me there, you know.
(05:35):
And usually it was my grandmother who was going anyway
to see family, so I would catch a ride with her.
That was something that you know, and families, when you
it's about the people you spend the time with too.
It's not necessarily about the attraction. It's wonderful to travel
and see new places and get new perspectives and that's beautiful,
but if you can't do it, at least get away.
(05:58):
It can be about family too. Just stay with family a.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Couple of summers, you know. When I had the kids,
we would do something different every day, Yeah, day trips
or whatever you call them. We'd go somewhere and it's
like today we're going hiking, yeah, or today we're going
to go to this place and walk around and we're
going to eat, and y'all can pick what you want
to eat. And we just did different things. If you can't,
if there's not one thing, you know, pick a bunch
of little ones. Go go west, go east, go north,
(06:23):
go south. There's something everywhere, but go Yeah, vacation time
to my little brother and I didn't go on summer
vacations till I was probably about twelve, and my parents
never took us on vacations, and I'm assuming it was
because of a financial issue. My aunt and uncle, who
didn't have kids, they took us a few years, and
(06:44):
then finally when we were about sixteen or seventeen, my parents,
you know, started taking us on vacation. Those are the ones,
Murphy where we had to hit a brewery every year, Yeah, right, Houston,
an Heiser Bush, Saint Louis Kannheiser Bush, Mission, Memphis. Hey,
we got slits all right.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Well, did you enjoyed or were you just like, oh Dad,
what was that like for you? No?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I enjoyed?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Are the breweries?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
To me, it was education. It was educational, nerdy cad.
It was educational. I mean I got to learn how
beer was made.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, at least you were excited about it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
We had a hurry up to the end of the
tour where Dad got his free sample. I see, but dad,
look how they make No, I don't care, let's get
to the samples.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
That's funny.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I'm just kidding. But yeah, I mean, so I didn't
even experience. I didn't know what a summer vacation was
until I was ten or eleven or twelve.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Yeah, that's one reason why the vacation movies they really
do land like, you know, because it can be miserable too.
There can be you know, we remember the highlights and
you remember the good times of it, but it doesn't
mean it's good from start to finish.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well, it's funny you say that, because I was reading
something about that the other day, and it was it
was about the psychology of a vacation or an event,
or the way that we remember events. That even if
a vacation gets off to a very rough start and
it's not everything you wanted to be, people tend to
as years go by, recall as long as it ends
on a happy upnote. Yeah, then the vacation itself has
(08:12):
a happy memory tied to it, right, which makes perfect
sense to me. I mean it all turned out okay,
I guess in the end.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Like you bundle it like that's done, and it was
mostly good.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, And so I'm sure there are times if I
think back, I can remember one time and I don't
remember what my parents' solution was. I don't remember if
the car got towed. I guess we got towed. Our
car broke down on the way to the beach once,
and somehow, for some reason, radiator fluid was actually leaking
into the car, which was hot water on the floors
and steaming the windows up. So it was not a
(08:43):
good We all had to we had to stop and
get out. But I was so young. I remember that happening,
but I don't remember what we did afterwards. I'm sure
my dad was probably really upset about that.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh yeah, well, you were a kid. It wasn't your
problem to solve. That's why you don't remember the details.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Because we all crammed in the car. It was my
parents up you know, front, and my sister up front
with them, which probably wasn't right. The way it was
supposed to be done, and me and my brother and
my grandmother were in the back. Yeah, so it it's
exactly so, you know, But of all those years, I
(09:19):
only remember that one breakdown. But any memory that I
have of any vacation was great. And I'm sure there
were issues and incidents. I'm sure there was family drama
at some point, of course, but I don't remember any
of that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
There have been times on vacation on the way home.
I will never forget you and I getting into it.
We had had, you know, a long day. You and
I got into it. Yeah, and Taylor and Phoebe were
in the back Gymmy specific time, I looked in the
rear view at one point and they were looking at
each other and they were weighing in on what they
thought the real thing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well to see, I guess the happy.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Memories, I mean I kind of remember it, and then
either that or I tuned you out.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
We'll be home soon.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
We don't remember those unless we're thinking about specific vacations.
One that I remember that did not go over well
in the end, Like it's it's a story we didn't
as kids bring up. My mom thought it was hilarious,
but my dad did not. And if that's if that's
a dynamic where the parents aren't you know, gelling, if
(10:24):
that's not, if there's not harmony there, you know, not
to bring it up. We were on the way to somewhere,
some little getaway a weekend, and this would have been
the early eighties, I guess, and my dad had on
a I've told you the story before Murphy. He had
on a red and white sort of checkered looking shirt,
(10:45):
probably a western white cloth, and we sat down at
a place to get something to eat, and his shirt
matched the tablecloth identically, and my mom could not hould
her laughter in. And he did not have a sense
of humor about it. He was tired, he had been driving,
and I guess, you know, between the two of them,
you know, she picked at him a little bit about
(11:06):
stuff like that, and he had a more serious way,
and it was just it was something, you know, it's
always something underlying that we didn't know was going on
between them. Yeah, okay, it's a lot, which is very
true for adults when they don't share all that with
the children, as they shouldn't. But she could not stop laughing,
and my brother was very you know, in tune with her,
(11:28):
and he was laughing too, And I would never.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Have laughed at that.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Wow, So it was I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I wasn't at that lunch.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Huh, that's not something that we ever. I wanted to
bring it up. I wanted to mention it years past.
I think he got rid of that shirt. I wanted
to mention it, but I knew not to bring it up.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's interesting because I realized it's different because he passed
away when you were very young. So if he were
around today, I would think he would laugh about it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yes now, And it is.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's interesting how that was a moment where you knew
that something was off, but now it's a funny story.
Time really does make a difference when it, you know,
when it comes to that kind of contact.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
How was the rest of the trip, I don't remember.
I was so young.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I don't remember that. I remember that story being told.
My mom would tell.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That it was the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, but he didn't think it was funny.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And and so that goes back to you know what
I was saying at the beginning of the podcast here
that even if you it doesn't have to be anything fancy,
if it's family or you personally or whatever, you're going
to come back with a memory. You're gonna come back
with something as long as you really get out of
your complete environment that you're usually in and that doesn't
have to cost you anything but maybe the gas money
to go down the street. Even if you're not gonna
(12:38):
eat somewhere, just go do something, you know what I mean,
soak it in and make the most of your staycation
if that's what you know, what.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You're doing vacation being away from your normal routine. It
doesn't matter. The destination doesn't matter as much as make
sure it's away from your normal routine.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And the kids will always have some happy memory of
something because something fun will happen no matter what you do. Yeah,
miss any part the show.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Get it all on the Murphy Salmon Jody Podcast.
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody After the Show podcast,
which is brought to you by Omaha Steaks, which Dad
would probably love. I know I would, and I'm a
dad and I love steak and so Omaha Steaks dot
Com has something special for Father's Day, and when you
get to the end of the podcast, we have a
code for you to use to save money on your
purchase for Dad or whoever you want to buy the
(00:20):
stakes for. Really, so you know, it is summer, it's
a vacation season. We were talking about that during the
show this morning, and I wanted to share something with
anybody who is is struggling with the fact that, you know,
maybe maybe you're down on yourself because you don't have
enough money to take the entire family on vacation this year,
or you know, maybe you just are not able to
break away for work or for whatever reason. There actually
(00:43):
are ways to, you know, approach it, and they're kind
of like the day trip thought. But I'm going a
little bit deeper than that, is that if you're going
to do something that's more of a staycation, change your environment, yeah,
because that will make a little bit of a difference.
If you just stay at home as your staycase, and
it's not going to feel like a vacation now. No
matter how much you love your home, it's the same
(01:04):
four walls that you're in every single day. It's where
you go, you go to work, you come home, and
that there's just something about that that just is not vacation.
If you actually go see something you've never done before.
Sometimes just get.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Out of the house, get out of town.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So I almost think of those as many vacations, and
I think about that. Jody and I do this recently,
and I think about when I was a kid and
my parents would do something, you know, very similar. It
would just be the get out of the house. And
to me, today's equivalent of that is get out of
the house and get away from your screen, because you
really will get that peace of mind, even if it's
(01:38):
just for one day, you'll get that feeling of that break.
Jody and I did this, you know, just recently. We
decided to go to a restaurant that we hadn't been
to ever, and really I just wanted to go somewhere
with a little waterway, and the restaurant overlooks, you know,
the water, and so we just got in the car
and we drove for about forty miles and we went
and we had lunch and it was fun to hang out.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Think it was my favorite part of that is that
we didn't decide until do it until like midday, and
on the way there, we realize this place closed it too. Oh,
And I said, we're going to have to let them
know if we're going to roll in there at one
twenty one, twenty whatever, one o'call. I don't know. I
just said, I said, let's make sure they know we
(02:21):
understand you close it too. So if if this is
not a good idea to seat us, we understand that.
And you did tell them that, and they said.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
What she said, as long as we know what we
want to order pretty soon, that's okay with them.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
We don't take it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
But what's what's funny, and that's this is a different
podcast altogether. This is not the direction I was going
with this. But you know, the to me, if a
restaurant's open till two most restaurants I've been to, they
know they're open to too, and they know that their
people are going to be around a little bit longer,
and you just you stop accepting, you know, you stop
accepting guests at closing time. It's just what you do, right,
(02:58):
I get not walking in five minut it's before closing time,
but you know, a half hour forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, it was still open, I.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Know, but I just wanted to mention where we we
realize you close soon. Yeah, we're not going to be
a three hour situation.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I wanted them to know. Yeah, and we were. And
you could tell. You could tell they must have had
a really busy lunch because.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, before we seat, you do you know what you want?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Right?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's like, no, I've never been here, right, But it
was just it was fun to get away, you know.
It was just it's, you know, a part of a
restaurant we've never been to before, a drive that we've
never been on before together.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was just nice.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And I know that was four an afternoon, but really
I felt refreshed when you and I got back home.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah. It's like a reset, reset your normal surroundings, which
resets your brain a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And so I guess that's the reason that I bring
that up is my parents were really good at that too,
because there were some years where vacation I know was
hard for them to say, you know, for there's only
one year I can think of that we didn't go
to the beach. But you know again that was they
did that one on the that one on they did
that one on the cheap. If the condos are not
as expense, we're not as expensive then the in fact,
(04:13):
they weren't condos, they were motels. Yeah, you know that
back then as they are now. But but they were
really good about getting the.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Car, we'll go do something. They would.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
They didn't have the confines of smartphones or screens. They
weren't worried about us using all that, although the TV
was on a lot of times in the house. But
just to be able to get in the car, go
and have a different just a different change of scenery
is really enough for mental health to me, to give
you a little bit of a break. Even if you're
(04:44):
in a position that you can't really take a full
vacation for whatever the reason.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I think some of the best vacations end up being
those years when families do that sort of thing. I
would go spend summers a week if I was lucky,
a whole week with my cousin Candice and Crystal, A
stayed away. You know, I got to go out of

and so I would be riding in the car with them,
you know, doing their stuff with them, or I'd just
be hanging out waiting for them to be done. So
their lives continue, their summer plans continue. But I was
just the tag along. It was always really fun. We
always had a lot of fun together. But that didn't
cost my family anything except to get me there, you know.
(05:35):
And usually it was my grandmother who was going anyway
to see family, so I would catch a ride with her.
That was something that you know, and families, when you
it's about the people you spend the time with too.
It's not necessarily about the attraction. It's wonderful to travel
and see new places and get new perspectives and that's beautiful,
but if you can't do it, at least get away.
(05:58):
It can be about family too. Just stay with family a.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Couple of summers, you know. When I had the kids,
we would do something different every day, Yeah, day trips
or whatever you call them. We'd go somewhere and it's
like today we're going hiking, yeah, or today we're going
to go to this place and walk around and we're
going to eat, and y'all can pick what you want
to eat. And we just did different things. If you can't,
if there's not one thing, you know, pick a bunch
of little ones. Go go west, go east, go north,
(06:23):
go south. There's something everywhere, but go Yeah, vacation time
to my little brother and I didn't go on summer
vacations till I was probably about twelve, and my parents
never took us on vacations, and I'm assuming it was
because of a financial issue. My aunt and uncle, who
didn't have kids, they took us a few years, and
(06:44):
then finally when we were about sixteen or seventeen, my parents,
you know, started taking us on vacation. Those are the ones,
Murphy where we had to hit a brewery every year, Yeah, right, Houston,
an Heiser Bush, Saint Louis Kannheiser Bush, Mission, Memphis. Hey,
we got slits all right.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Well, did you enjoyed or were you just like, oh Dad,
what was that like for you? No?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I enjoyed?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Are the breweries?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
To me, it was education. It was educational, nerdy cad.
It was educational. I mean I got to learn how
beer was made.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, at least you were excited about it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:16):

Yeah, And so I'm sure there are times if I
think back, I can remember one time and I don't
remember what my parents' solution was. I don't remember if
the car got towed. I guess we got towed. Our
car broke down on the way to the beach once,
and somehow, for some reason, radiator fluid was actually leaking
into the car, which was hot water on the floors
and steaming the windows up. So it was not a
(08:43):
good We all had to we had to stop and
get out. But I was so young. I remember that happening,
but I don't remember what we did afterwards. I'm sure
my dad was probably really upset about that.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh yeah, well, you were a kid. It wasn't your
problem to solve. That's why you don't remember the details.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Because we all crammed in the car. It was my
parents up you know, front, and my sister up front
with them, which probably wasn't right. The way it was
supposed to be done, and me and my brother and
my grandmother were in the back. Yeah, so it it's
exactly so, you know, But of all those years, I
(09:19):
only remember that one breakdown. But any memory that I
have of any vacation was great. And I'm sure there
were issues and incidents. I'm sure there was family drama
at some point, of course, but I don't remember any
of that.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
There have been times on vacation on the way home.
I will never forget you and I getting into it.
We had had, you know, a long day. You and
I got into it. Yeah, and Taylor and Phoebe were
in the back Gymmy specific time, I looked in the
rear view at one point and they were looking at
each other and they were weighing in on what they
thought the real thing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well to see, I guess the happy.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Memories, I mean I kind of remember it, and then
either that or I tuned you out.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
We'll be home soon.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
We don't remember those unless we're thinking about specific vacations.
One that I remember that did not go over well
in the end, Like it's it's a story we didn't
as kids bring up. My mom thought it was hilarious,
but my dad did not. And if that's if that's
a dynamic where the parents aren't you know, gelling, if
(10:24):
that's not, if there's not harmony there, you know, not
to bring it up. We were on the way to somewhere,
some little getaway a weekend, and this would have been
the early eighties, I guess, and my dad had on
a I've told you the story before Murphy. He had
on a red and white sort of checkered looking shirt,
(10:45):
probably a western white cloth, and we sat down at
a place to get something to eat, and his shirt
matched the tablecloth identically, and my mom could not hould
her laughter in. And he did not have a sense
of humor about it. He was tired, he had been driving,
and I guess, you know, between the two of them,
you know, she picked at him a little bit about
(11:06):
stuff like that, and he had a more serious way,
and it was just it was something, you know, it's
always something underlying that we didn't know was going on
between them. Yeah, okay, it's a lot, which is very
true for adults when they don't share all that with
the children, as they shouldn't. But she could not stop laughing,
and my brother was very you know, in tune with her,
(11:28):
and he was laughing too, And I would never.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Have laughed at that.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Wow, So it was I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I wasn't at that lunch.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Huh, that's not something that we ever. I wanted to
bring it up. I wanted to mention it years past.
I think he got rid of that shirt. I wanted
to mention it, but I knew not to bring it up.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's interesting because I realized it's different because he passed
away when you were very young. So if he were
around today, I would think he would laugh about it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yes now, And it is.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's interesting how that was a moment where you knew
that something was off, but now it's a funny story.
Time really does make a difference when it, you know,
when it comes to that kind of contact.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
How was the rest of the trip, I don't remember.
I was so young.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I don't remember that. I remember that story being told.
My mom would tell.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That it was the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, but he didn't think it was funny.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
And and so that goes back to you know what
I was saying at the beginning of the podcast here
that even if you it doesn't have to be anything fancy,
if it's family or you personally or whatever, you're going
to come back with a memory. You're gonna come back
with something as long as you really get out of
your complete environment that you're usually in and that doesn't
have to cost you anything but maybe the gas money
to go down the street. Even if you're not gonna
(12:38):
eat somewhere, just go do something, you know what I mean,
soak it in and make the most of your staycation
if that's what you know, what.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
You're doing vacation being away from your normal routine. It
doesn't matter. The destination doesn't matter as much as make
sure it's away from your normal routine.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And the kids will always have some happy memory of
something because something fun will happen no matter what you do. Yeah,
miss any part the show.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Get it all on the Murphy Salmon Jody Podcast.
