Getting out

This week, we took a few day trip up to Devil's Fork State Park. This may seen like odd timing given all that is going on with the move, but we booked our villa on Black Friday, when the State Parks system was running a 50% off sale. The cost was non-refundable so had we cancelled and not gone we would have been out the money. So, we went.

Going was such a great decision, and the timing ended up being perfect. We turned off the phones, unplugged and regrouped. We got to spend a few days coming together as a family without any outside distractions and away from all the craziness. We hiked, laughed, played, waded in the lake, stargazed (brought the telescope), read and prayed.  I think it's safe to say we're ready to face all that lies ahead and finish out everything that has to be done before we move.

Oconee Bells. Rare flower that only blooms from mid-March to early April.
