Vacation

Tomorrow Warren, Chelsea and I take off on a vacation

of sorts.

We are headed North.

I've never gone this direction for vacation.

We only go South.

However, Chelsea had need to go that way for an

Art/Writing/Drama Guild she will attend.

I have, for a few years now, 

wanted to visit the area where I was born.

The Adirondack Mountains.

So.....

we are going to do it.

After we leave Jonathan, Michael 

and the Moms in charge of the cats, dogs and 

expected new chicks.....we'll head out.

Chelsea and our friend, Anthony, will be delivered

to a very special location not too far from 

New York City tomorrow afternoon.

They will join nearly 100 other young adults who are 

on a mission to impact 

the world of the Arts

for Jesus.

Warren and I will head about two hours north and 

begin our journey.

Exploring and gathering images of places where

my parents met, fell in love and married.

I hope to peek at the hospital where I was born.

Today Mom gave me directions to get to the tiny school

on the side of a mountain where my Grandpa built a home

and where my existence began.

If I were to peek inside one of the rooms of that home

I would see the very place where my dad began my 

theological training.  

Mom showed me the photo today.

I'm in my baby seat and my young, young, 

daddy was leaning over me teaching me precious truths.

How thankful I am for this heritage.

I'm going to find a fire tower and declare it 

the very one that my mom, 

very overdue, 

climbed...or attempted to climb...

in an effort to get me to decide to be born.

It didn't work.

I'm just that stubborn.

I'll have access to the internet and hope to blog

some as we go but don't worry if I don't post often.

Warren and I have never gone on vacation 

alone before so one never knows what 

we might get ourselves into.

We just might have such great adventures

hiking and sightseeing that we 

pass out in deep sleep

without posting a daily update.

It could happen.

No kiddos to slow us down.

LOL

I have visions of us white water rafting,

taking a picturesque river cruise, 

visiting a historic site (or five),

Poking through antique shops,

Taking in a free jazz concert in a town square,

and

picnicking on the shores of a great serene lake.

We might do one or more of those things.

But in any case....

we'll enjoy the change of pace.

For sure.

See you later!
