Vacation First Half
We just got home from vacation yesterday. We have been away since October 29 and we traveled 2600 miles. We drove, yes drove and had a fantastic time. We decided to take the time because we hadn't had a long break in a long time. In the middle of vacation I attended a conference and then we finished vacation.

We planned the trip using the AAA website and I highly recommend it. We made plans but left the schedule open to be able to stop whenever we wanted.
Our first stop was lunch in Charlotte followed by a visit to the Carolina Raptor Center. We spent a couple hours walking through the wooded paths viewing the rescued birds and learning about raptors. This was a great stop.
We slept in the Durham area and headed to Virginia Beach the next day. We spent the evening walking on the beach probably too far but it was wonderful.
We also went to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center. More walking and viewing the fish and then a nice stroll outside through the marsh. We walk a lot when we relax.
After leaving the aquarium we headed to Chincoteague where we hoped to see the ponies. No luck on the ponies but we had a good hike.
We headed to Lewes, Delaware to get some rest and be ready to take the ferry to Cape May the next day. We had been a little concerned about the weather because of the freak snow storm but we had gorgeous weather.
We loved Cape May. We did some shopping, some touring and looked at wonderful houses.
After Cape May we were off to Mystic, CT and another wonderful day. It was so wonderful we decided to stay another day. We did some shopping, toured Mystic Seaport and had great seafood. I love oysters!
With one day before my conference started, we were off the Londonderry, New Hampshire to visit my friend Patti. We visited in her kitchen where she served minestrone and grilled cheese/proscuitto sandwiches. She is a personal chef also. What a wonderful visit before heading to Cambridge, MA.
Take some time and take a break. It doesn't have to be for 2 weeks and 2600 miles, but you do need to relax and renew.
