Spontaneity

Recently, Bill and I left for a short vacation to a favorite nearby lake. We had a few days available in a condo there. But when we arrived, the condo arrangement was rather depressing. It was located in the basement with a view, not of the lake, but of a cement wall. The smells and sights were uninviting and when we discovered there was no internet or phone service we made an immediate decision to leave.

We turned to each other and asked, "Where would you like to go?" I began thinking about a place our oldest daughter and her family visited last year. I suggested it and away we went! Using the miracle of our smart phones we mapped our way to numerous interesting places along the way. We stopped at historical markers and actually read them out loud. It was a fun and spontaneous adventure.

Here is a picture of our final destination. You will recognize the place and most of the faces.

On the way home we experienced some severe storms. I am totally impressed at the pictures my camera took from a moving rain-drenched car.
