New England in the Fall...

Means a fall retreat with our new church! Because what better way to enjoy God's art in New England by spending a weekend surrounded by vibrant colors with that trees-on-fire kind of look? It was some serious R&R (with a great game of Capture the Flag that's left me sore for the past 48 hours!)



Friday night, we headed out on the Mass Turnpike to a campground about an hour west of the city. Three hours later (thanks to holiday weekend traffic, several wrong turns, and an URGENT need for our car to stop at Boston Market on the way there), we finally arrived.



Brian and I thought it would be fun to set up our tent (everyone else was in cabins) and "rough it" for the night. What a great test for a couple - how quickly can you put up a tent - in the dark? And can you do it without arguing? I'd say we did pretty well for our second time camping together: 20 minutes to set up camp, 0 arguments. Go team!



What a peaceful weekend.



Tomorrow - off to Chicago for three days of a "work retreat." Is that an oxymoron?
