Just a quick note as tonight we are cleaning and packing and generally bustling around so that we can leave on our vacation tomorrow. Ottawa is almost an 8 hour drive from London and with Luke's temperament we have to take it in stages. The plan is to leave late in the afternoon, drive a couple hours, then stop for dinner. After that, we'll drive a few more hours then stop and stay somewhere with a pool. A swim is just the thing to de-stress everyone and stretch us out.
We've just vague plans made for what we want to see and do because it's impossible to tell if a given attraction will fall within Luke's tolerance or not (for example, big crowds are not tolerated). Also, if Luke gets too tired, his tolerance level goes down. But I'm content. I think that we know the ropes by now and we know what we need to do to have a fun vacation.
The gift knitting is all done. Here is the mitten picture I promised:
Ah, I hear the dulcet tones of my family calling me back to work! Must run!
Your colorwork just amazes me. Gorgeous, Laurie!
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation!
With all due respect to Luke and his condition, I have the same issues when traveling!
ReplyDeleteI lurv those mittens girlfriend - you amaze me.
Have a fantastic vacation - take it easy and slow - that's what I'd need!
Darlin' - you seriously kill me with the beautiful in all the work you created. Between the husband's sweater and these mittens, I'm swooning. =)

ReplyDeleteHave fun on your vacation! I love unstructured trips. I always feel like I got to really enjoy it instead of rushing from one thing to another.
Have a great vacation! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteTrips with no tight schedules are the best.
