About the weekend trip, I think we should leave Friday evening after work and take the coastal route.
The drive is about three hours but the views along the way are really nice.
I booked a small cabin near the lake with two bedrooms and a full kitchen so we can cook our own meals.
Let me know if you want to bring your bike since there are some good trails nearby.
You should also check if the kids have any activities scheduled that weekend.
We could stop at that roadside diner for breakfast Saturday morning.
I heard they make excellent pancakes with homemade syrup.
The weather forecast shows sunshine and mild temperatures all weekend.
I packed some board games and a few books for downtime.
There is also a small dock where we can fish if we get permits.

About organizing the garage, I finally finished sorting through everything last weekend.
It took longer than I expected because there were so many boxes to go through.
I found some old photo albums from our college road trip which brought back good memories.
I rearranged everything so the frequently used items are easier to reach now.
The pegboard works great for hanging tools and I might get another one for the opposite wall.
Next I need to tackle the garden shed before the weather changes.
The lawn needs one more mow and then I will rake the leaves into compost piles.
You should come over this weekend to see the new setup.
I would like your opinion on where to add more shelving.
I am also thinking about installing LED lighting to make the space more usable in the evenings.
