Congress is actually on a recess. Adjournment most commonly refers to "Adjournment Sine Die" which happens at the end of each two-year session of Congress.
The current 109th Congress will likely return after the election (particularly if the Repubs lose the House and want one last chance to try to push their legislative agenda before they become the minority) and adjourn sometime in December.
