Our Retreat

Our little retreat was wonderful! It was so nice to get away for a few days and have some really good "just us time". I think the time was especially precious, knowing that we will soon be adding a third to our family! We are, of course, so happy and excited about our new little one, but it does make time that we have together a little more special right now. We had beautiful weather...sunny and in the 50's. We played games, went on hikes (or walks, depending on how protective of me you are feeling!), grilled out (the first of the season), relaxed together in front of the fireplace, and just enjoyed each other. Here are some pictures I took. First, our cabin and the view from our back porch:




Some pictures from the hikes (err...walks...sorry, Sylvia! ) we took, including one stone from the the pre-Civil War graveyard that was there:





Our second day was much more windy, as evidenced by the ruffled waters:

A tiny hint of spring!
And the grilling...who knew so much fun could be had with lighter fluid. Well, my brother Dan knew, I suppose!

el fuego es diversión
пожаром будет потеха
o fogo é divertimento
불은 재미 이다
il fuoco è divertimento
η πυρκαγιά είναι διασκέδαση
Feuer ist Spaß
le feu est amusement
FIRE IS FUN
