4th of July

Our 4th of July Weekend getaway almost didn't happen. Rob was called to be a juror on a trial the week before we planned on leaving. This meant the trial would be in the process and we wouldn't be able to leave. Luckily,the judge said we would have Monday off to celebrate the fourth. We could still escape for a short weekend BUT were hoping for a much needed long weekend getaway. I was holding out hope that by some miracle the judge would decide to give everyone Friday off as well. On Wednesday I received a call from Rob. The judge decided not to hold court on Friday.

Our weekend getaway was on. We had a day to pull things together but we made it happen. Our friends the Jessee's were sports about our indecisiveness and prepared for our arrival Thursday night.

On Friday we went blueberry picking.
