It was the perfect amount of time away

Yesterday, early afternoon, I left home for Indy.  Due to a previous commitment of one of my friends, I was back home mid-morning today.  It was absolutely the perfect amount of time away.

It had been over a year since I'd been able to visit with our friend in Chicago.  As we get older, we find that we make more of an effort to spend time together.  He understand the challenges of my schedule, not to mention my fear/intense dislike of big cities, and since his family is nearby it's usually a matter of visiting for a couple of hours here.  This conference in Indy provided us hours upon hour of uninterrupted visiting time, and it could not have been more perfect.  We stayed at a fabulous downtown hotel where we didn't need to leave the premises if we didn't want to.  We did walk next door for dinner, but that was as far away as we strayed.  We spent our time hanging out at the hotel bar/restaurant and pool, and could have taken advantage of the wine bar or spa had we chosen to do so.  It was a perfect way to relax after last week!
