It’s good to just take a break from the every day and go on vacation.
So we did.
Vacation to the hot pools.
The water was the color of aqua marine baubles all collected into a pool and it steamed into the winter air. We were the only ones for a while and we bobbed and squealed from the heat of the raw hot water.
The hot pools have a smell of soul and time just wanting to be spent like quarters in your pockets.
They leave their smell on your skin and when you come back home you remember that hot ice blue you stepped out of. It makes you feel like a million dollars and so connected to the ones who have taken that smell home with them too.
Mom and I got a burger and a shake (from The Shake Shop) and enjoyed every minute of our afternoon vacation.
Our lives are far from boring, our lives are not in need of adventure most of the time…but that doesn’t mean that we don’t need to take a detour every once and a while. A detour to a space where the world wouldn’t expect to see us on a Monday afternoon. A detour just to remind the world that we can switch it up whenever we want, we aren’t scared of change, we aren’t afraid to shed some responsibilities and put on the coats of “doing this for me!”….
Take a detour. Bring the vacation smell home with you.
