"Re-submersion into reality" is a term I've come up with for getting back to life as we know it after spending time away. In the past I have also referred to this as "vacation brain." Dan, Jak and I arrived back home yesterday after spending an extended Memorial Day weekend in Canada. Dan's family has a cottage on a bay in Cocagne, New Brunswick.
The cottage is close to the water and is a very peaceful, relaxing spot. The weather was beautiful while we there, which from what I understand is not the norm. A day or two of rain would have been the norm. I said that Canada must like me and that's why the weather was good - which only seemed truer to me as we were packing up to leave and the wind picked up it and it started to rain. I told Dan, Canada was sad that I was leaving.
I think Jak has had the roughest re-submersion into reality. He made himself quite at home at the cottage and in the warm morning sun could be found stretched out basking in it. He was also with us the whole time so coming home to life as usual (spending the day alone while we're at work) has been a bit tough. He's suffering from what I like to call DDS. Dejected Dog Syndrome.
Here are a few pictures that I took. I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!

The morning view and Jak and the morning view are my favorites. Did we have a long week-end? I hadn't noticed. Glad you enjoyed yours.
Beautiful pictures. It seems like you had a nice time. We had a nice time one summer, spending two weeks in Acadia, Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick. We really enjoyed the ferries, the water, and the sun. We also lucked out and had dry sunny weather. Perhaps it just gets nice when visitors come.
