We had a really nice day today. After Mass, we went to brunch at Cracker Barrel (I was craving pecan pancakes), and on the way home I was kind of half-whining to Michael about having to do a grocery shopping and laundry. He said "You know what? Screw that for today. Letapos;s just have fun." I asked him what he meant, and he said we should go look at the Fall foliage. That itapos;s not going to be pretty for too long, and it was such a beautiful day, that we should enjoy it.

We went to the ocean first. We walked on the beach and the kids ran around and collected shells. I couldnapos;t believe how chilly it was I was glad Iapos;d brought everyoneapos;s jackets. And the surf was really rough today, which made it absolutely beautiful. Michael said he thought that was from some storms off the Carolina coasts. Some of the waves had to have been more than 10 feet tall It was just gorgeous, and I�so much love my ocean I donapos;t think I could ever live anywhere where I was land-locked.

Then we drove inland, all the way to the Delaware River, and drove south. It was a really pretty drive---wooded, with the trees just glistening their Fall colors in the sun, and the river to our right. We crossed over into Pennsylvania at Lambertville, where the little narrow bridge has no toll. That put us in New Hope, which is very picturesque, but a bit yuppified. It was also very crowded. Everyone was out enjoying the sunshine, and shopping. The kids wanted to ride the train, but we didnapos;t have time to do that. We did walk around and window shop, and I actually went in to one place and bought a beautiful blown glass vase which I�think I may put in the niche in the upstairs hall for a while. I just love it.

Michael then drove in to Pennsylvania a bit, because it is just so wooded, and the trees were so beautiful. New Jersey, with its sandy soil, has more evergreens (which I actually LOVE), whereas Pennsylvania has so many oaks and maples---all turning colors. They were gorgeous today

We were going to drive farther inland and pop in on Joanne and Mark, but when Michael called them, no one answered, so we turned around and headed back to Jersey.

It was an all-day trip, and we took our time, just driving anywhere and everywhere, and enjoying the countryside and the foliage. The kids were a bit antsy in the car at times, so finally Michael set them up with a game: He said weapos;d take a political poll. That Matthew was in charge of counting all the Obama bumper stickers and yard signs, and that Jenna could help him. And that Justin was in charge of counting all the McCain ones, and Tessa could help him. And weapos;d total them up at dinner. It kept them occupied, since the political signs are just everywhere punctuating the landscape right now (Unfortunately. Theyapos;re so ugly I would never put one in my yard). . . Needless to say, Obama won by a huge margin, but we were---after all---in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which is about as blue as you can get.

We stopped for dinner at Brick Oven pizza. I had had such a huge brunch that I still wasnapos;t even that hungry, but the kids and Michael were.

We didnapos;t get home here until 8 PM, which is really too late on a school night. And Michael had to leave for work at 9 The kids showered really fast and went to bed. They were so tired, that they didnapos;t put up much resistance.

It was a really nice day, just hanging out as our little nuclear family, and enjoying the beautiful Fall colors and the sunshine, and talking, laughing and having fun together. Michael and I held hands in the car almost the whole time, and actually were able to have a decent conversation after the kids became so preoccupied counting political signs (That was a great idea to keep them busy). And I loved walking around New Hope. It really is a cute little town, right on the river. I wish Iapos;d had more time to shop

I�feel peaceful and happy starting the week this time� :)
