Vacations tire me out

I was just off for a week visiting Lake Vermillion with my wife, two children, sister-in-law, niece, nephew and father-in-law. It was a very nice trip with a lot of fun activities, but I am officially exhausted.

I finally broke my fishing losing streak. I went two years on the lake without catching a lousy fish. This time I caught a 22 inch northern on Lake Vermillion. I also got six smallmouth on Trout Lake in the BWCAW. I am sure I would have gotten more if my spinning jig lure wouldn't have gotten snagged.

I'm really not a bad fisherman, it's just I haven't tried very hard since having kids and am often tasked with dealing with the kid's snags.

I was comtemplating a trip down the St. Croix tommorow followed by a Twins v. Red Sox game, but I may throw in the towel and just go to the game. The big question mark is whether staying home will be more or less tiring.
