The Electric City

This weekend we took a road trip with our good friends, to the Electric City, better known as Scranton, PA.

After arriving in Scranton late Friday night, we went out for some wings before heading back to our luxurious accomodations for the weekend – the Scranton Econo Lodge.

Saturday brought shopping at the outlet malls at Montage Mountain, a great lunch at one of those old-time 50’s cafes, a matinee viewing of Pirates of the Caribbean 3: at World’s End, more shopping at the Steamtown mall, and dinner at a Texas Longhorn.

Sunday found us back in Mansfield, attending a Little Leage game, and then spending some quality time at Tanglewood Campground with our “adopted family.”

It was so great to just get away. Away from work, and stress, and the hustle and bustle of our ever-increasingly schedule.  It helps you to recharge, and helps to remind you of the important things in life – God, family, and friends. It’s funny how spending just a little time away can help you readjust your outlook on life and remember that those things that seem so overwhelming important during the course of the week aren’t all THAT importan in the grander scheme of things.

More in my next blog on Pirates 3.
