A life of travel had always been something that she enjoyed, and while she couldn't do it as much now that she had children, she DID still got to do things with her family and more would happen when they were older. "Oh, really? I have to say that I never wanted kids either. I disliked children until I became a mother." Even now she wasn't very fond of them beyond her children and a few others. A lot of them, however... yeah, she wasn't crazy about them.

That comment got a laugh. "I think you're right. And of course, it definitely is up to him what he wants to do." Gabby felt the exact same way when it came to her children and where they wanted to attend school when that time came.

"Yes, exactly. A change in scenery could do wonders for a person." Gabby knew what she was talking about. Once her own children got a bit older she wanted to go on another trip, see the sights and make sure her babies knew about the world around them. She wanted them to grow up knowing different cultures and the people within them. "I believe he did as well. Now though you would never know with all the little ones he's got... and becoming a grandfather as well," she laughed softly. Her brother. A grandfather already. Boy, how time just flew by.

Addison smiled nodding in agreement. "He's still very much into wanting to become a Dragonologist or something similar so I'm sure that someday he'll want to relocate himself for his passions work." Wherever the boy might end up someday was beyond her and honestly it didn't matter just so he was happy.

After a morning of meetings, meetings, and more meetings, West needed a break. He momentarily considered heading to the froyo station, but quickly remember that there were no toppings for said froyo, so he changed course and went to the Hangout. The soft comfy chairs were calling his name and it wasn't a prime meal time, so the entire buffet area was fairly quiet.

After settling himself in one of the plush, nap inducing, chairs, he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. Just a quick catnap would be just the thing to recharge his body and mind for the afternoon. He was finding that being in his mid-thirties was much more exhausting than he thought. On top of his advancing age, adding in a new workout routine, desperately trying to get back into top shape, was proving to be much harder than he originally hoped.

With his eyes closed, he tried to zone out and remove himself from the surrounding noises of employees chatting and eating lunch in the background. Before he knew it, he was spiraling into dreamland, reliving the events of that day. The day he hoped he would be able to forever forget.
