Spring Break
I forgot all about Spring Break after I got out of school. But this time since I’m tutoring, I get the heads up on when the kids are out of school for break, which gives me a little break too. Often working over the years, you tend to forget to reward yourself with a break too, even if you may not be 8 years old anymore, you still deserve to have a break and to have some fun.
The next couple of months we are going to leave town and I couldn’t be more excited because we are going somewhere new for the both of us, Utah! And we are going to Richmond, VA to see old and dear friends of ours. We did look into going to Arches National Park in Moab, UT. It’s about an 8 hour drive there and we can’t make solid reservations but we can “wing it” we are good at that. Plus, I think a vacation with just the two of us will be a treat. We haven’t had one of those since we moved out here almost a whole year ago.
Yay for breaks!
Camino de Santiago
I am getting the travel bug and I must say that Camino de Santiago has been weighing heavily on my mind the past few days. If you are unfamiliar with this well let me fill you in.. Camino de Santiago or The Way of St. James is a pilgrimage in Europe, with various routes all over Europe that lead to Northern Spain, to Cathedral of St. James. The cathedral is said to be the burial grounds of St. James, it is a holy place. This pilgrimage that has been traveled for a thousand years.
Most people that head out on this journey are doing it for religious or spiritual reasons, and others go for themselves and somehow The Way becomes a part of them. I am looking forward to this pilgrimage for so many different reasons.
Depending on where you start the pilgrimage from, you will receive a Pilgrimage Passport. At each checkpoint that you stop, you will get a stamp in your passport, along with food and a place to sleep for the night if needed.
I have never gotten up and left without a plan and I’m excited to just get up and go. I know that it will take sometime to do, maybe a couple of months depending on the route we take. All of this will be on foot, so it will take a while but the length of time doesn’t seem to bother me at all, in fact it’s the long journey that I am most looking forward to.
There is a movie out directed by Emilio Estevez called “The Way” that’s based on this exact pilgrimage. We finally saw it the other night and it just got me more excited to experience it for myself.
our rather eventful weekend!
