the rewards of spontaneity



The only plan for this holiday weekend was/is no alarm clocks. So with little expectations we awoke this morning with my husband suggesting we let someone else cook breakfast. Off to a hearty breakfast we went..... with our bellies full our next plan, just drive see where the road takes us. Antique shops, flea markets everyone found treasure (a later post maybe). A good history lesson for my little one who loved to ask "whats this for, what did they use that for?"
Next stop a little railway village, where dedicated volunteers keep history and passion for the railroad alive. For a few dollars we had a wonderful train ride, but the "cherry on top" was when both my son and husband were asked if they wanted to sit up in the engine and help. I don't know who was more excited the bid kid or the little kid....... anyhow it was a lovely day, a day with no plans a day with no expectations and it was just perfect.
