Every year for the past eight, Mr. Bleu and I have taken an autumn mini-break. Our anniversary is in the autumn and I spent 7 years working at a local festival in early autumn which was 100+ hours of work for 12 straight days, so a little break was exactly what I needed to recover. Our tradition was to go to some sleepy little tourist town during the off days when it was sleepier than ever and just relax. We order takeout or go to nice restaurants, take lots of long walks to look at all the old buildings and yearn for a return of such beautiful architecture. We always make a visit to the spa for a massage and sauna. And if possible, we book a place with a hot tub so we can soak our stress away. And I sleep. A lot. One year I went to bed at 7:30 p.m. and slept 13 blissful hours straight through. But mostly, we just talk and reconnect. I know it doesn't sound like a very interesting vacation, but not every holiday needs to be an adventure. I normally take a stack of outfits with me and spend a little time taking photos in the autumn colors, but while the weather was perfect for our walks, it was just a little to summery for there to be any fall hues as yet. Since our bed and breakfast had some very nice colors within, we just snapped a few while we were lounging. *P.S. the cigarette is just a prop. Smoking is bad.
