Okay, More. More on the vacation planning because we're nearing March break and this weekend, actually, my kids and I are choosing what we're going to do this summer. And the original plan was, now that my son got his driver's license or his lawyer's permit was to drive out to Banff and Jasper. But now the kids are a bit reluctant on doing that because they're away from their friends, they're away from their jobs. They'll be stuck in the car for quite a bit of time if they want to decrease that, you know, the planned length of that trip. So it might be something else. I don't know. I had my heart set on this trip. Maybe they care about that. I don't know. They're teenagers. But they are my kids, and I feel they. They do have some empathy and. And some emotional intelligence. One more than the other. I won't say which one. But we're planning. They understand the budget, they understand the time required. They understand what I want to see. I understand what they want to see. And so we're really going to get into what we want to get out of this trip while balancing, I guess, the hardships that do come with. With a grueling road trip versus, say, staying around and having a staycation, maybe with a short couple of road trips, we go camping, hit the ocean. I don't know. To be determined.
