Time just seems to fly by at an astonishing pace these days.
We spent a wonderful summer on Long Island Sound aboard Cinnamon Girl, enjoying the sea breeze, stunning sunsets, family and friends.
Until the last week in August, when we experienced an earthquake and hurricane Irene, the weather was pretty darn perfect. There is hardly anything more relaxing than being on the water, picking up a mooring in a lovely harbor, settling with a cool drink, and listening to Sinatra on the iPOD. Heaven.
Now that September is here, it's time to think about putting the boat away for the cooler weather we know is to follow. Time to think of our next adventure.
The View is hitting the road.
When I was growing up, our family didn't do much traveling. My parents traveled to Europe and New York, but we didn't as a family. Who would take all those kids on a big trip? We traveled to Luna Pier in June and stayed until Labor Day.
John and I are getting in the car this coming weekend and driving across the country. We plan to visit our son Jay in Los Angeles, in fact we've rented an apartment in LA for two weeks. After that we plan on visiting our country's National Parks.
This journey has been on our "bucket list" for several years and we decided that this is the time to do it. After all:
- we have the time
- it's the best season to travel by car because the weather is non threatening
- we have traveled extensively to other countries, but why not see the USA?
Stay tuned for updates and a travelogue.
Now I have to think about packing.
