Separate Vacations
I guess it was inevitable that there’d be a breach
with you wanting the mountains and me wanting the beach.
We’re broken into moieties, with one kid choosing you
the other choosing me so you know what we’ve gotta do.
You’re fierce in your decision and my determination
to have my way as well in terms of this winter vacation
means we’ll relax in different climes—you snow and me the sun.
Then we’ll get back together once our holidays are done.
Marriages find ways to work in snow and sunny weather,
but sometimes it works for the best when they’re not faced together.
Prompt words today are beach, inevitable, fierce, moiety and holiday.

I think if we’d have liked different vacations, it would have been fatal. Just because it points to different personalities. Depends how different, I guess.

Luckily my husband and I liked exactly the same things and places as well as disliking the same things..Not much to compromise on there, although there were other compromises.
