The rest of our vaction

The last of our vacation was fairly uneventful, but it was still lovely.  We decided Thursday was going to be our "nothing" day.  I finished my book, Andrew did a lot of reading, took a walk, just hung out.  We were debating between two restaurants, and I was thrilled that Andrew agreed with me that we wanted to return to the winery we had gone to earlier in the week.  It was a really lovely day and I asked to sit by the windows so we could enjoy the view.  It was a really, really nice way to end the week.  EXCEPT, that we actually got to go back again, because as we were cleaning up in the evening, we realized that Andrew had left his phone there.  Fortunately, it wasn't too far from the condo.  There was also a walk along the shore to watch the sunset and another slide on the playground! :)

Up and on the way yesterday, and we were home by mid afternoon.  I was so ready to be home, and I was especially ready to see our sweet pup.  We were so grateful to Catherine for holding down the household while we were gone.

Today was another day in the car.  The parents of Catherine's boyfriend invited us to a family cookout.  We hadn't met them before, and we really wanted to make the trip, even though it was 2.5 hours each way (or more if you avoid the awful interstate drive as we did on the way home).  It was another long day in the car.  On the upside, they are lovely people and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to meet everyone.

I am grateful there is still another day before going back to work, but we have two grad parties, so not an entirely uneventful day.  But it's been a truly lovely week!
