This summer was way too short as far as I’m concerned. As I sit here preparing to head into school tomorrow, I can’t help but think that summer just flew by too fast. Both Mark and I knew that this summer would challenge us in ways we couldn’t imagine; we weren’t wrong.
There were a few things that I wanted to be sure we did so that we felt that we had time to relax. One of those was camping. Last summer, for whatever reason, we never had the opportunity to camp. This summer we drove up to Niagara Falls and camped on Lake Ontario.
Our view was gorgeous and the weather was wonderful. I think I will always remember falling asleep to the sound of the water lapping the shore, what a surprise to me. I did not expect that when I made arrangements for our campsite.
Something else that was high on my summer list was just having fun. I think we did a pretty good job of that. Mark and I definitely took a relaxed attitude when it came to the yard and outside work. We went ahead with having our very first bbq even though our yard and our home were not in the best of shape. On our two little trips this summer we allowed ourselves to indulge in really “touristy” experiences.
Our trip to Lancaster County included a meal at Miller’s Smorgasbord and our trip to Niagara Falls included The Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds Tour. We stomped around on the hurricane deck like we were kids.
Finally I wanted us to have some experiences that we had talked about but hadn’t yet scheduled the time to do. One of those experiences was having crab on the Chesapeake Bay. This past Monday, Mark and I drove into Philly to pick up Jess and then we drove down through Delaware to the Kent Narrows area in Maryland. We stopped at Harris’ right on the bay.
Summer ends officially this week for me. I will miss summer and the relaxed schedule we have created for ourselves. I will miss the additional time we had at the shop and the opportunity to meet so many of our customers. I would be lying if I said that I was looking forward to heading back to school...it is what it is.
