you had me at "I let the wife know we are going up north to our home “Seekin’ Sanity” to get away for a day or two."
It needs to be done every now and then to keep our Nay my sanity. I go up normally on a Friday with every intention of leaving on Sunday, but I normally leave on Monday. lol
You know what they say about cottages -- the road of good intentions to leave on Sunday is paved with unavoidable delays!
How true. I knew we were supposed to get snow up north but not as much as we got. We left at 5:20am Monday and the plows where still out. It’s a nerve racking 45mile drive with not may lights on the road but plenty of snow on it to the highway. Normally a 3hr trip total but coming home it was almost 4.75 hrs. Now you ask “Was it really worth driving up 3hrs and 4.75hrs back, snow-blowing the drive 2 times to only grill 5 burgers, Spaghetti squash, mushrooms, and onion?”
To this I’ll answer every time “HELL YES!”.
