Rebecca and I had a little retreat to Pennsylvania to visit my grand parents at their cabin. It's been a tradition since we were children. My mother would pack me and my sister into her truck and drive us all day and all night to the cabin. We'd stay all through the cool summer swimming in the creek and playing in the woods until my father would come up at the end of summer and bring us back home to Florida.
Since Rebecca and I have gotten older, we don't get to make it up as often. Rebecca had some vacation time and she decided she wanted to go to the cabin. I, being a freelancer and enjoying a certain flexibility with my schedule, agreed to drive us up. Our purpose in the trip was to simply get away. We got away from everyone and everything and just enjoyed the nice quiet cabin days with games of Canasta, swimming, hiking and lots and lots of good cooking and eating.
I told only a few people that I would be going and I'm sorry for all the Pennsylvania friends and family I neglected to visit. My purpose in going was to relax and have some quiet time to finish my book. Though I didn't quite finish, I'm now only a few chapters away. One day I took my camera out and snapped a few nature pictures. Of all the places I've been to in my travels, this one is my favorite.
