Oh, I have been waiting and waiting...

I am sitting at school anxiously awaiting the sound of the bell that begins my last class for this long week. I am anxiously awaiting because as soon as the bell rings to end this class, I will join the mass of joyous weekend-bound students to the door. When we reach the door, we will divide and conquer this spring-esque weekend.

Here is what I will do...
My weekend begins with a metro ride to the rental car. Then the rental car will escort me to Keba and Aaron. We will all hop in the car as quickly as possible and venture to Berkeley Springs, West Virginia! Then, as soon as possible, I will submerge my exhausted body into a bath a mineral-rich water. And the Ahhhhhh's will begin. Plus, Aaron and I are playing hookie on Monday. This is an interesting feat for we both teach at the same school. Many laughs erupt when colleagues look at the "Teachers Out" board and see our names together. There is no escaping the justified ridicule!

My goals for this long weekend:

1. Alone time with my Amazing Aaron and Delightful Dog
2. Many soothing minutes under mineral water
3. A 14 mile run in the woods of WV
4. Slow meals as the sun sets
5. Time to exhale, together
6. Time to rejuvenate what is now a huddled mass of lethargy
7. A long slow drive in a rental car
8. Time to hide from the world!

Pictures to come soon!

Ohhhhh, I highly recommend this quaint hippie-esque town. The springs are calming, the coffee and conversation across the street is delightful, and the music at the Red Guitar is comforting. We have a lovely time in the hills of WV..., and I also highly recommend the state park of Cacapon located just down the street from the springs. Here there are trails, cabins, and the serentity that is written about...so, to answer your query...YES!
