On the Road - day 11

Day 11....this is the day I have been waiting for. We have been planning this trip for a while, but this was the day I have been waiting for.

It starts off as any other day, we got up, had breakfast, went to church...a lovely start to a Sunday. It was the Feast of St James, so there was a luncheon after services. Very nice.

Then it happened, our children went down for quiet time...and we ran, we ran as fast as our Toyota Hybrid would take us...and if you know me, that's pretty darn fast.

We ran away to the cottage, we ran away without our children!!!

The Mayfield clan has had the cottage property since the 60s ? They built the cottage per se in 1975...which I know due to an unfortunate story involving me which led to my teenage uncle sitting on a bee...My hubby and I went out there for a mini honeymoon 5 years ago, and that was the last time he was there before this trip.

It is quiet, there is no cable, no phone, no internet...there are neighbours and running water ... or else I couldnt go. We went down to the lake, and Joe got to finally go the beach ...TG no more whining about the beach:)

And we never returned....well not today at least.
