The Daddy

Dad was so excited to see me. I rarely see him but I think of him all the time. I made plans to visit about a month ago and we both penciled the date in our calendars since we're always busy. The week leading up to my visit, he wrote me twice about how he was looking up orchards and things for us to do. He was so happy.

I drove down there Friday and got there by about 9pm. I actually like the quiet drive up even if there was traffic. It's nice to blast good music and relax after a full day of work and a full week of work. I was exhausted by the time I got there and only chatted for about an hour before going to bed.

He had plans for me to get up early the next day and get going. Thats dad. But it was a good idea because we didn't even have time to hit everything before nightfall.

We drove up towards Dover where we stopped at a nice Pumpkin patch and took a few pics. We had a nice lunch at Olive Garden and drove around tons more where we found a country store that was right next door to the pumpkin patch we were at an hour and a half before that. Kinda funny. I love those funny moments with dad where we just look at each other and start laughing.

Anyway, we drove a bit further and decided we were done for the day. Sunday we got up to shop some more but we didn't have much luck and I almost got us into a bad accident. We decided to turn around and go home where I took a nap kissed dad goodbye and left to visit Aunt Patty before going home.

I do worry about Dad's health but it's not too often I can dedicate a weekend to going up there. It was nice seeing him and I cant wait to see him again.
