Weekend Getaway

Wow, we had a really great weekend. Daniel had planned to go camping with Jessica and Joseph this weekend for a while already, while I thought I would have to stay home with Timothy and be sad and lonely. Not so! In the end the person he asked to go with couldn't make it, so I got to go along! And it was fun. I so needed to get away from everyone and everything. And it just so happened that my brother-in-law found out we could go to this one resort for a free night, and of course, we took the chance! So, one night at the beach resort, and the next day, off to camp. Later I want to post pictures of our time at the beach, and then of the camp, but for now, here are some shots of what we saw along the way.

We happened to see not one, but two of these gorgeous birds, the king vulture. I am so happy they sat still long enough for me to take their picture. To see one of these birds sure is a treat.

 

 He made sure he took a good look at me as well.

Daniel had some business in Springfield, along the way to the beach and camp. This weekend made me realize how much I love this country. It's hard to wish myself someplace else right now, what with all the snow and cold people are experiencing elsewhere. :)

Banana trees along the way.

 We had blue skies almost the whole time we were gone. The weather couldn't have been better. I feel the Lord really took care of me to turn things out the way He did. I couldn't have been happier!
