In honor of the halfway mark and completing my 9th term at school, we took a day-trip to Erie, PA on Friday.
It is a favorite retreat for us since it is close, easy to get to and has a beach and other fun stuff. We haven’t really had a chance to get away in quite a while, and I’m really not sure if it was the scenery, or the fact that it was just so different from my regular surroundings, but the trip resulted in some oddly inspiring output on my part.
Two videos, a number of panorama stitches and about a hundred or so pictures later, almost the entire trip is documented. This habit of mine is usually not well tolerated by Marieke, but she didn’t seem to mind during this trip.
We rented a surrey bike, which is a side-by-side bicycle built for two. It was great fun to peddle the entire way to Perry’s Monument and back again.Afterward, we laid on the beach and went into the water a few times. Marieke had her Glamour magazine and I had my Kindle. With no school books to read, it was really very nice to have some leisure reading. I do remember falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
Our snacks sustained us, so we were able to keep the cost of the trip to a minimum. Traffic to and from wasn’t bad at all and it helped that we went during the week- even though it was a Friday.
This was a good day and well deserved for both of us.
