Great quote, perfect photo. Many tourists arrived in our parts for the holiday weekend. Sadly, the sun hasn't gotten the memo that the summer season has begun. We are experiencing a prolonged May Gray here on the coast and have only seen small glimpses of the sun all month.

Oh I love that quote! It doesn’t matter how much fun I’m having on my travels, there is nothing quite like coming home!

I love the ritual and tradition here.

What are the birds just motoring through the water? (Maybe you spotted it up a bit? Moving so fast as a group!)

There are many good reasons some people leave home, none of which constitute "running away."

I love the quote! It is only by leaving home that we appreciate home again when we return. Yes I also love your conversation about the summer residents. I love your imagination!

Clara, Our tourists have taken the same roads and maybe stayed at the same motels. D

I wonder if they have a website where they share recommendations?

Recently we visited a dear friend in Catskill, NY for a few days - lovely to get away! At my knitting group at the library that happened the next day, a lovely friend remarked that I looked "so relaxed." How I would like to master the art of carrying that relaxation with me for longer than a day.
