I really needed it. Kyle needed it more. A weekend to just get away from work and school to just relax. The weekend bags were packed with only t-shirts, shorts, and bathing suits, with a few books that have nothing to do with anything remotely related to our daily activities.
After a trip to the med school post-test party on Friday night we headed up north to the family cabin. The car ride was full of random conversations, crazy moments and lots of trying-to-stay-awake activities. We pulled in around 4 am and naturally got a late start to the day on Saturday--but that's what we were there for! To relax, not worry about timelines, and do whatever the heck we wanted. It rained and stormed like crazy on Saturday, which was actually really nice and peaceful. There was a break in the storm long enough for us to take the new sailboat out on the lake and to get some dinner. After dinner we enjoyed more gazing at the lake, reading..........and ultimately falling asleep while reading. That was me--I just couldn't keep my eyes open! Sunday was a beautiful day and we took the sailboat out again for a trip around the lake. I was very impressed with Kyle's sailing skills and by the end of the weekend he had me sailing, too--well, at least pulling on the right ropes.
All in all it was exactly what we had wanted it to be--an incredibly nice getaway where we didn't have to think about anything at all.
