Just got back from a weekend in the Shenandoah Valley with Kathy. We rented a rather isolated dog-friendly cabin, and other than a few hikes, stayed put for most of the time (well, there was the hot tub in the back that we used some as well). It was good to get away, it was beautiful, we read, had fires, hung with the dogs, and all-in-all, relaxed. So often we travel to see others, or to do things -- it was nice just to "be." I used to do such vacations at the Outer Banks, but the past couple of years we haven't gone due to weddings, and this year's week there with my family should be nice, but not as relaxing. This served as a reminder that it's worth taking such trips, and that even a long weekend can be rewarding.
Happy Presidents' Day!

Glad you had a nice weekend. We're still in the throes of winter here. Michael cleaned the walks/driveway on Saturday morning and it was minus 18C. Much warmer today, and supposed to hit plus double digits by Wednesday.
