Day 10: I am grateful for mini adventures.

My son and I had a mini adventure today. We chose a road and we took it. Didn't matter where it lead or where it would go. The only part was that we were together and enjoyed the day. It was one of the nicest days that we have had in a few weeks and the last, I think, we will have in a while.

We ended up driving next to a trout lake, so we pulled over and hiked through a little bit of wilderness to end up a great little shore. Full of rocks, sticks, and swans. Everything a little boy and a grateful mommy could need.

We had lunch at a cute family deli in Somers, NY where the logo was, displayed outside the front door, "You enter as a stranger but you leave as family". This was right next to an historic monument called the Elephant Hotel. A pretty little spot full of charm and of course the Fall color. The is only the second time I have experienced Fall on the east coast but it still stands (under my son) as one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

I am so grateful to be able to spend the day with my son for our mini adventure.
