26 Miles

A Walk In The Woods

// June 7th, 2008 // Life

Spent the day with my son, Dad and step-Mom going to visit a friend and look at a cabin for sale in east Texas. More than anything it was nice to have a day hanging out with my little guy, relaxing and not thinking about work.

The cabin itself wasn’t too bad really. Could use a little housekeeping but all-in-all not a bad place. Definitely good enough for weekend living which is what it’s intent would be. In this part of the country the most common recreation is shopping and eating. Aside from that you can play golf or have a boat. There are no mountains to climb or ski down, no beaches or surf, just mostly flat prairie and if you go a few hours some nice tall piney-trees.

One of the best ideas we’ve had is to someday just get a place an hour or two from town that’s small, has some water and trees, and is quiet that we could go on the weekends to get away from the city. This place would certainly fit that bill. The idea is right, but the timing could be better. Long-term though, I think doing something like that might be cool.

Tomorrow is back to the grindstone. But today, and I hope more like it soon, was glorious.
