I'm really not much of a fan of Halloween. Skeletons, haunted mansions and looming fright has no appeal to me. On the other hand, October is one of my favorite month's of the year with the breath taking foliage, chill in the air, apple cider donuts, baby pumpkins and mums. It's a serious level of autumnal bounty that brings heaps of yard sales, mornings of coffee on the porch and unplanned road trips. Road trips!
Destination: Bethlehem, Pa.
Keith and I had approximately 27 hours of road trip frolicking where there was not any particular destination and Bethlehem is where we landed. The past few weeks have been a little rough for me between lethargy and morning sickness (lies...it's ALL day sickness) there hasn't been a whole lot of time for frolicking and taking in fall's goodness. So this was perfect!
We spent most of our time in the historic section with cute shops, great walking trails and quaint homes. I love nature and having the opportunity to just sort of take a few deep breaths and enjoy God's creation. Hitting week fourteen of prego has me grateful in general, but having less energy and not feeling so hot made this weekend all the more meaningful. Very grateful for a husband who values my love of nature and has embraced the power of spontaneity. Every once in awhile it's pretty awesome to put the laundry, house cleaning and approaching week's responsibilities on hold and roll with hopping in the car and see where the road leads.
