Weekend Getaway

My side of the family planned a mini-vacation for this summer.  It was to a cabin in a town about 40 minutes south of us.  Although it wasn’t far, it was far enough and in a different enough location to feel like we “got away.”  The convenience of only being a short drive just made it all the better. 

There were breakfasts with assembly lines for cereal – pick your cereal, take it to your seat, get your milk and spoon.

It was a good time – not relaxing – but well worth it.  It is so fun to see all the cousins playing and running and experiencing relationships.  Thanks, Family, for all your love.
