May got here a lot faster than anybody anticipated. Especially me who is marking another circumnavigation of the sun. Thankfully I have somebody (now 7!) to distract me from how many times I have made that trip around the sun. We broke away for a couple days to head down to Lake Gaston, NC which has been on our list for quite some time. In fact, we’ve had reservations there on more than one separate occasion but had to cancel for one reason or another. We were close to doing the same for this trip because of a small fuel crisis that the mid-Atlantic states appeared to be the epicenter of. Thankfully that ironed itself out before we hitched up and was never an issue.
All in all it was a nice trip. Maybe not our favorite so far considering there really isn’t much to do in the area, but its a gem of a lake and you really feel worlds away when you arrive. The boys loved playing in the brisk waters and we soaked up some down time in the midst of a never ending circle of crazy.
It’s hard to believe Ryder is 7 now. The years pass at an astonishing rate and he is nearly out of 1st grade. The summer ahead of us is already jam packed with activities and we are always excited to see what is going to unfold next.
