Of the hundreds of photos I snapped, for so many reasons, the one I am sharing is a favourite.
Extremely candid and a tad dark and stormy, this is us embracing our last morning before heading toward the Chesapeake Bay crossing to Ocean City Maryland on our way back to Canada.
I have said it before, and I will say it again, that I don’t think we are conventional travelers. When neither of our sons could stay with the girls in October, we immediately planned something where the pups could come with, which presented its own challenges.
Not only is it difficult to find pet friendly hotels along the interstate where you need them, it is very
expensive to travel with four legged companions; but in the end, well worth it.
Yes, we rented a large oceanfront house for just us and the girls. It is what we could afford and we loved it. We would return in a heartbeat.
When I listen to some talk of
their experiences, it’s always in a tone of how much it cost, or how exclusive it
was. We don’t worry about either – simply ask ourselves one question – does it
work out best for us without breaking the bank?!
Mid life has taught us both that we are in competition with no one. We have no desire to play games and lead people to believe we are better than anyone else. Our personal philosophies are simple. We wake up every morning and try to be good people.
That said, embracing that mindset has had some take advantage of the both of us.
Though my husband is quick to point out the obvious, I generally choose to help where we can, in turn expecting respect. For me personally, it took me a lot of years to understand that in order to fully embrace my own self-worth, I needed to let go of those that didn’t value me.
As a hard working goal oriented person, some of those shifts in life have been the most wide awakening journeys of all.
...But that is definitely another post.
