After-effects of vacationing

You know you've had a good vacation when you totally lose track of time.

Yesterday, I was trying to figure out why there was so much traffic on the town. Mike and I went to Bar Harbor in the afternoon, and it was incredibly busy. The day before, we also noticed that everywhere we drove on the island, we had to deal with a lot of traffic. I couldn't figure out why things were so busy.

It wasn't until this morning that I remembered that yesterday was Friday, so we were just seeing normal pre-weekend traffic. I was pretty excited about being that disconnected from reality.

This morning we left the cabin at 7:30am, after saying our good-bye's to Mike and his family. We have a long drive ahead, and we'd like to get to New York early enough to walk around Manhattan and eat dinner in Times Square. We hope to be in Boston for lunch, and New York by 5pm.

Last night we reminisced about other summer vacations, and decided that this one has been one of the best--though it has some tough competition. And we started planning our next vacation.

I think I'll take my time getting back up to speed from this vacation.
