adirondack adventures


Spent a week in Speculator in the heart of the Adirondack mountains. Lots of family, many friends, and a busy week it was.

Weird to be in an environment as a vacationer instead of an employee. Weird to go through the feelings associated with saying goodbye to a way I did summer for seven years. Good to embrace transition and moving into a new phase of life. Difficult to spend such fleeting time with family. Healing to talk to a friend about the journey through life. Fun to do things like the climbing wall, campo, and camp fires and game nights. Awe-inspiring to witness a meteor shower.

I now know what it feels like to need a vacation from vacation.
