ONE MORE FROM PEAKS

It rained the whole week we were in Maine. I didn't mind much because the fog makes for some cool pictures. Jonah and I didn't get to explore the woods as much as we would have liked, but we still had plenty of fun. There was something really relaxing about kayaking around the bay in the fog and rain. The constant foghorns from the boats in the area lent an eerie but familiar Close Encounters tune in the air. Chaya and I spent a large part of one day kayaking around the island, and exploring a couple of the neighboring islands. I wish I was brave enough to bring my camera on the kayak with me, but I just couldn't risk it. There is just something really beautiful about being at water level when the sun and some blue sky peek out through the clouds for a while, and all of the colors swirl around on the wakes...these would have definitely been some of my best shots from the trip....but there is just no way to keep things dry on a kayak.
Any way, no matter how much I like my job, it is so nice to get away to a place with no phone reception, and no internet. I found myself driving around occasionally looking for a wifi signal to steal, but I only did that a couple of times. All in all a nice, relaxing week with my family. There is nothing I look forward to more than getting to spend time with my kids without distractions! It would have been nice to spend more time with my teenagers, but Eli stayed home(I think he wishes he went), and Jay brought a friend...so he is not in many pictures, because they were off doing their own thing...but that's ok, I think they had fun as well.
