Sorry folks, I haven't posted in a while. Things have been a little nuts around here. Baseball games, practices, Cassidy's birthday yesterday, and Scott and I spent the weekend away. We were planning it, we were talking about it, and finally we made the decision to pick a weekend. The only weekend that he was semi free was last weekend. The kids had baseball infini, but my in laws were willing to take on the marathon, and the kids, so we took the opportunity. The last time we were away without kids was for my nephew's wedding about 4 years ago. That wasn't a getaway, that was a whirlwind. We left after work on a friday and were in the house by Sunday evening. Mind you, it was an eight hour ride to and from the lttle town upstate. We were exhausted and didn't recover from the insanity until the next weekend. So, in the almost 17 years that we have been married, we decided that this was important, just a weekend, just a small amount of time. We didn't do much, we hung out at the "resort." We went shopping at a couple of tourist traps, and climbed a hiking trail to see beautiful waterfalls. I will post pictures of the falls after I exhaust my writing. I came home well rested and feeling a little recharged, but jumped right back into the routine. So as busy as we are, it has been so important for us to have that time. I am glad that we went, I am glad that we found the time, I am glad that Mr. Bush sent us that little extra $$$$$$$. We were able to go without stretching our budget, we used that money to go. It was nice to be able to not worry about where the money was going to come from, or where we would need to cut back so that we could go. SO, guess I should say where we went, because as I read this over, I noticed that I didn't mention it. We went to the Poconos, to Fernwood, an older family "resort." It was starting to show its age, needed to have some, well, many upgrades, and the "resort" season wasn't in full swing yet, so, we were left , at times, with not a whole lot to do, but we made do and just relaxed. So, here are some photos of Bushkill falls, we didn't do the most difficult trail, I couldn't do it, wasn't happening, was getting tired and dehydrated! Worth every moment of it though. Beautiful and a real wonder. Well, the images were supposed to post after this writing, but , ok, at least they were able to be posted, I have had problems in the past, so we take what we can get! Make it a great one, folks, enjoy!

Beautiful area and beautiful pictures. Glad you got some R&R.
I took my daughter to Bushkill Falls when she was around 9 or 10 but it was only a one day trip. It's a gorgeous place for photo ops and I took a lot of pictures. Glad you had a good time with the money that Bush fella sent you. Ours is still sitting in the bank account where it was dropped.
Cheyenne, Bushkill Falls wasn't our destination. We were in the area so, with lack of things to do, our motto was just check it out, and we did, you are right though, it is a day trip, even from our hometown. Peruby, it is beautiful, and we are glad that we did a little recharging too.
Mr. Bush still hasn't sent us any money! I wondered if anyone had gotten theirs yet.
It's a beautiful place and it looks cool with all the refreshing water and trees. Glad you got away, even if it was brief, to just chill out and relax a bit. We all need that from time to time!
