Sweet Escape


I am tagging along with Beren who's on a business trip, having a grand ol' time so far. We ate lunch at a reeeal fancy spot called Hogsbody, shared the biggest burger I've ever seen in my life and still left some on the plate! So much for Meatless Monday. groan. It was delicious, though, I must admit.

Tomorrow while Beren works I'll probably putter around the city, perhaps do a little shopping or hang out at the amazing waterfall hotel pool! There's a science convention going on here, though, lots of cute geeky men running around so I'm not sure if that's the best idea. *wink*

I love these little road trips, they are forced relaxation for me, an opportunty to read, play on the computer, shop...all the stuff I feel guilty about doing when I'm at home. It's a sweet little escape from the daily grind, an opportunty to just play relatively guilt-free. Oh, I still worry about the kids and I'm ever-so-glad to go home, but 24-36 hours away is just the right amount of time for me to refresh & renew my spirit and return a better mom as a result.

Wish you all were here to play with me!

I love scouting some new territory on my own! Did you score any cool new things? That's neat you get to tag along. I've hardly ever done that.
