Turtles & Ducks!

Shannon and I actually had a vacation and it was non-comic related!  This April 1st was our 15th wedding anniversary.

I'd have to say that if you'd like to "get away from it all" AND only have a weekend AND don't want to be to far away from home, this place is perfect the first weekend in April.  Besides one family a couple of houses away, our only neighbors were the ducks and a couple turtles.  Shannon contacted the owner of this little cottage and we had a wonderful time.  We bought some shorts (the only pair of my short that we brought had a broken zipper) at the smallest mall I've ever seen and had an early dinner at the 20's Hideout Steakhouse.  We drove around Marion a little and saw this creepy, but kinda cool house:

After grabbing some groceries from the local IGA, we spent most of the time doing absolutely nothing.  We sat and watched the ducks and the occasional soaring hawk and that was pretty much it.  No internet access, limited phone access; it was nice.  And I got to spend the whole time with the only person in the world worth doing it with.  That's the honest to God truth, so there.

XOXO-
