Well, vacation....not exactly. We had been wanting to redo our patio for many years. Other things came first. We had to close in the garage and make a little apartment for my father-in-law. That was complete, and he was moved in on Thanksgiving weekend. So when Phil's concrete company got a break this summer, we had them start on the patio. I don't think the plan was to have the driveway done at the same time, but that happened too.
