Our Little Vacation

My dear husband decided that I needed a break, so the Little Misses and I accompanied him to a conference.  What a lovely little vacation it was!

We visited Ripley’s Aquarium:

We watched the sting rays for a long time.

We ate very, very well, and I had no gluten problems:

And it was so pleasant to sit peacefully above the stop-and-go traffic, watching Toronto’s lights come on at night, knowing that there was nothing I had to do…except eat supper, maybe take the girls for a swim, read a little bit, and sleep.

A crowning joy:  When we got to the parkade, Mr. 19’s dream car, a Tesla Model S, was parked right beside us.

I am very grateful for this wonderful little vacation, and even more for my husband who noticed I needed a break (even though I had no idea!) and made sure it happened.

I pray you, too, will notice and find joy in all the big and little treats God sends your way, remembering them with gratitude and delight.
