On Weather and Lost Chances
Plans. They are always good in theory, but sometimes mother nature has a way of forcing us to reconsider.
This past week, thanks to the three day weekend, the family and I made some last minute plans to go camping at a local state park.
It has been quite a while since we have gotten some tent time as a family, so we were excited by the prospect. Sadly, the day after we booked our campsite, we learned of the impending weather changes soon to sweep across the country.
So, we made the tough decision to cancel our weekend plans of outdoor adventures and settled in for a long, cold weekend indoors.
In our neck of the woods, we spent 4 days in below freezing temps with some light ice and snow. Very atypical for our area of the country. Could we have survived a night or two out in the cold? Probably. But sometimes it's best to hedge your bets and play it safe, especially when one has children involved.
While I love being out in nature, I also love a chance to settle down in a comfy spot with a book and that's precisely what I did over the long, cold weekend.
I hope you all stayed warm too.
We will plan an adventure for another day.
