Mitch celebrated his birthday in July and I have a milestone birthday right around the corner. A week or two ago, we realized that with the school year fast approaching we might not be able to get in a long vaca, but we still wanted to do something special.
Well, we hunted around and decided to take a little overnight on the Eastern Shore. We had a fab time! We stayed at the Oxford Inn in Oxford, Maryland (natch). We enjoyed yummy meals (a crab frittata for breakfast at the Inn and a delish lunch in an organic restaurant in Easton). We went to the movies ("Cowboys v. Aliens" - not as bad as it sounds! ;). We went kayaking off of Tilghman Island---so peaceful and relaxing (well, not for the upper body, exactly, but we wanted that piece of it).
All in all, we just caught our breath. I marvel at the restorative nature of getting away from the usual routine. I must admit that I don't give myself many breathers. In seven days of creation, even God took a break. What makes me think I need to press on without one? Never underestimate the value of doing something "just for fun".
