Goodbye Summer


We said so long to summer in the same fashion as last year. We spent part of Labor Day weekend at the lake, soaking up our last days at the beach. And then we returned to town Monday in time to enjoy the Comstock concert at the park with some friends. We picnicked while half listening to symphony music and chasing around our kids. It was a great finale to a wonderful summer.

This weekend marked the ninth straight weekend away for our family. I know. It's slightly ridiculous. About this time every year we are looking back on some wonderful memories and simultaneously longing for some relaxation at home. We are most certainly ready for the routines of fall. Yet it is always bittersweet. There is much to be thankful for. And much to anticipate :).
