I like this pic. It’s my kids, and my aunt in this totally unused, perfect, old, very interesting room in the convent.

The Convent

P6080199

This is the Convent/Nunnery we stayed in on our vacation. It’s in North Jersey. They call it the Fellowship Deaconry. It’s basically a Lutheran retreat center that’s run by ‘Sisters’. They don’t really call themselves nuns because they’re not Catholic. If you’re wondering why we vacationed there, it’s because my Aunt is a nun/sister there. She’s been there for 47 years.

At first our kids were kind of freaked out by the whole thing. It seemed kind of strange. But as time went on, they really started to like the place. It was quiet, serene, peaceful & simple. A little different than South Florida life we live. It was restful to say the least.

Vaycay Pt. 1 - The Deaconry

Today our family is heading for summer vacation in North Jersey, NYC & Connecticut.  After flying to White Plains, our first stop is Liberty Corner, NJ.  I have an aunt that lives here at what is called a Deaconry.  A convent of sorts I guess.  Should be interesting.  Right now I’m at a Starbucks about a half a mile away in a place called Martinsville.  How many people do you know have actually had a vacation on a convent?  We’ll be here until Monday.  I’ll post some pics in my blog in the next day or so,  so you all can witness the most unique vacation spot we’ve ever had!
