Is It Really Saturday?

It feels weird to get up and not go to class on Saturday.  We toyed with the idea of trying to make it up to Lake Norman but we'd have been late no matter what given that we have to drop our eldest off at work at 8am.  And that's not even counting the invitation to do focused higher belt curriculum prior to class.  Instead we stayed home and worked on Cycle requirements and then did our weekly shopping.

Tomorrow we're planning on trying to get up to the mountains for either apple picking, the Apple Festival, or maybe both.  Unfortunately, the food isn't much of a lure with the dietary challenge but we'll see what happens.  Either way, I think getting out of town for half the day would be nice.  I don't really see how people on the Cycle mange vacations - the one time we did that we were on the road all day on Day 2 and had to make up everything we didn't cover on Day 1.  Maybe y'all are just Cycle Superheroes.

Something strange is afoot...
