Mini Vacation

Like so many people, we've been itching and needing to take a real vacation. To go places far away.... But right now Joe really couldn't take time off from work. So for our anniversary this year we opted for a weekend getaway only about an hour east from home.

These were places we could visit on a day trip, and we had done that plenty of times. But it was nice to be able to take our time and also try a few new places to eat.

Sunday, back home, we decided to get our fishing licenses and check out our trout stream. It only felt right on the second day of trout season... especially when most of the snow is now gone and the river water level has come down. We were thrilled to see a few steelhead, though none of them showed slightest interest in our lures. So our fishing season begins!
