Vlad Masters was going over a checklist. The Masters family intended to go to their chalet for Vlad's birthday in the Rockies. The schools in the Ghost Zone started summer break slightly earlier then human schools.
So it'd be both a great family vacation plus an excellent way to celebrate Vlad's birthday. He'd left instructions for Ian to keep the corporation operating smoothly during the time his family was on holiday.
As Ian Kent was his right-hand man? It was his responsibility to oversee Vladco whenever Vlad or Mag were incapable of doing so. Even the boss was allowed a yearly two-week vacation like the remainder of the enterprise.
His wife Magdalene had been occupied coming up with the perfect way to enjoy their trip. She'd gone over their itinerary numerous times. She wanted to make sure they included going to Emerald Lake Trail and Bear Lake.
Their son, Danny, genuinely wanted to ride the family ATVs while they were out on vacation. Jazz desired to get some incredible wildlife photographs. While Danielle wanted to have a few cookouts and sleep under the stars.
Magdalene herself only had one detestation in mind. The Chapel on the Rock. One of the top things to see in Rocky Mountains National Park. Chapel on the Rock is an almost century-old church in Allenspark in a fairy-tale-like landscape and distant mountains.
Inspired by the bible phrase "upon this rock I will build my church," Chapel on the Rock exhibits intricate stonework enveloped by vibrant green forest and mountain peaks. Attend church mass held every Wednesday, enjoy the fantastic interior, and remember to take a stunning photo of the Church on the Rock.
"So, Vlad, do you think I should add on either Lily Lake or Sombrero Stables? Or do you think we can squeeze both in? We'll be gone for two weeks, after all," his wife asked as she phased into their bedroom.
Giving a moment of thought, he replied, "I don't see why we can't do both. I mean we can fly ourselves or take other transportation to various places. It cuts down on time and doesn't damage the environment."
"Hmm, good point. I believe our children would also love to experience the breathtaking Ouzel Falls. It's, after all, a popular spot during the summer, Vlad. Ouzel falls one of the most captivating waterfalls in the national park.
Its vast boulders and rushing water provide an ideal concealed wonderland for families or couples. We could go on a picnic continue on more challenging trails. Or we could go horseback riding or even go camping if you secured a permit."
"Sounds like those would indeed make our daughters delighted. Do you think hiking the trails or riding horseback will make Daniel satisfied?"
"We can also ride the ATVs around the property of our chalet. However, I do believe he'd very much appreciate horseback riding. Considering when he was a child, he kept trying to ride the skeleton equines at the Ghost Zone corral," his wife mused.
"Sounds like a fantastic vacation and an ideal way to enjoy my birthday. Do you have a place in mind where we'll celebrate my birthday?"
"I'll leave that destination to myself. Now, remember we've to leave an hour before sunrise two days from now. It's the best time we've got to fly our specter limo. We just had it in for its tune-up and upgrades. It's so much more convenient for long distant travel."
"Yep, it surely is. Now is Leta ready to go as well? I did promise you could include her on this vacation. Given she hasn't had one in three years."
"Yes, I'll be picking her up tonight, so she's ready to go. But, first, we have to stop at her physician's office to get some emergency prescriptions for her diabetes. Oh, that reminds me! Don't forget to pack our family prescriptions. After all, being a family of hybrids comes with its own unique medical necessities. Plus, with our children inheriting my weakened immune system?"
"Don't worry. I've already sent for an emergency delivery from the pharmacy. They should have them here by dinner time. After that, I'll go see how the kitchen staff is doing with making sure to pack some hybrid snacks."
"Yep, again, with our hybrid nature, its crucial to have snacks that benefit both sides," the couple kissed happily. A few days later, they're setting off on their vacation. Lucky their specter limo came with a streaming service, or they'd have to put of with three kids asking repeatedly, "Are we there yet?"
So while they were streaming, the adults continued to plan out the perfect vacation. They arrived at their private chalet and got settled. The kids got to enjoy using their powers while riding the family ATVs. They were then having a nice cookout and watching the stars. Then they started the rest of their vacation, going to all the different destinations their parents planned.
In Vlad's opinion, the location of Ouzel Falls was the perfect place to have his birthday. All in all? A wonderful vacation and a happy birthday!
