We have definitely stayed busy and have had some downs (mostly Nate struggling with pain in his back) but overall it's been a great time. We even got a camping trip in with our friends Jon and Holly. The photo above is from the park we were camping at. The weather couldn't have been any more perfect. Warm during the day and cooled off just enough at nice for perfect sleeping. We took a walk around the campground and checked out the lake. I really enjoy the colors of fall and the smell of fall. That great dry leaf smell when you step outside and take a deep breath, you literally smell fall in the air.
I had a great drive up when I went to visit my family this weekend and had a good amount of time to soak in the sun as the beams where shining in through the windshield. Nice dry roads and the hum of the tires to sooth away any tenseness in the muscles. We have been having those perfect days that warm up just enough during the day but cool down nicely at night so that we just this week broke out the winter comforter again much to my delight! Oh boy, do I love to cozy up under that thick warm comforter! We have to be careful not to cook Nate however, so I let him make the judgment call to determine when it's cold enough for it. Until then, I layer blankets on my side of the bed.
I'm also looking forward to a small road trip to Ohio this weekend. We are going to visit family and plan to leave Friday afternoon once I finish work and Nate finishes class. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the weather stay as delicious as it has been the last few days.
Road trips are always a fun time for us to talk and dream together, to listen to a new album or new Vinyl Cafe, to pop into an undiscovered coffee shop or lunch stop.
Here's hoping we find a hidden treasure along the route this weekend.
