Yesterday after work we began the 6 1/2 hour drive to the coast of NC, which somehow turned into only 5 1/2, and even that felt short.

Maybe because I had so much knitting to do! I’ve come to love road trips, as Matt always drives, and that usually gives me plenty of free time to get into a nice rhythm of moving the needles. I actually finished a project I’ve been working on since last Thanksgiving!

So today I plan to sit, read, enjoy the sand and the waves, and savor the last bit of summer. I realized that Labor Day never meant much to me as a kid, but now I am craving the long weekend as a transition to fall. I am going to soak up ever last bit of summer sun, and then I am going to whole-heartedly embrace fall.
