Which signals the end of "summer" in the Geohouse. More so than the arrival of the school year or the passing of Labor Day.
Seriously, we really did an unpacking over the past weekend. Geogal and I returned from a sojourn to the California desert (the nice, nice part) and Geoana stayed here in our burg as school already had commenced.
Vacation getaway was a long time in coming. Given last summer didn't really have one, and the summer before involved a family-centric trek to Rocky Mountain National Park Geogal and I were more than ready for a trip that involved only us. Time to reconnect after her school and related sacrifices over the past 12 months.
I'm also happy to report the trip had no glitches whatsoever, not even with the TSA. In fact both our flight to and flight from So Cal featured planes that were about 1/2 full. (Never happens to old Geoguy!) Stretch out and relax...
Going home was interesting. Land in Denver in the early evening. Get luggage. Catch shuttle to long-term parking. Drive out of DIA. Grab a bite. Hit the grocery store for items not available in our small town. Gas up. Then get on the Interstate. Already dark by this time.
Talk to keep ourselves focused. Listen to podcast to keep ourselves focused. Get coffee to keep myself focused. Pull into our driveway at 1:30 a.m. after 4 hours and 15 minutes of driving time.
Then try to act as if the following day is normal.
Is is yet time to be thinking about our next get-away-from-it-all??
