What's Carrying Me Through My Day?

A plan period of 2 hours, a possible shortened time with the lippy 4th graders, and dreaming about being up north this weekend.

We leave tomorrow after school for Petoskey. I can't wait. The weather forecast is sketchy, but as you recall, that doesn't really matter to us. What matters is time away, staring at water, changing trees, and having no schedule. Just meandering the streets looking in small shops, taking long, scenic drives, stopping in roadside places for local foods, and just doing whatever we want.

Trips during the school year remind me of the many trips that our family took while we were growing up. A day off here and there, attached to a weekend, leaving right after school. Going places familiar and unfamiliar, eating fast food in the car, and arriving at our destination late at night. Only to be greeted in the morning by a completely different place than we saw at night.

My blogging may be spotty in the next few days, but I'm sure I'll come back with stories and pictures to share. Have a great weekend!
