Columbus Day. The best Holiday of the year

In the 12 years I've been a federal employee, Columbus Day has become my favorite holiday. Think about it. No cards. No meals. No decorations (unless you're absofreaking insane). No presents. And my kids never get the day off! It's perfect.

Here's some pics of how I spent this Columbus Day:
