Seven days stuffed full of family time. No television, no internet, but nearly perfect weather, and so many laughs. So much to tell you!
For now, a teaser!
It was a full week of cottage country bliss. Thanks to @BuickCanada we made the four and half hour drive in style. I may be developing a bit of a crush on the Enclave. Did you know the Enclave has two sunroofs? All the room of a mini van, all the style of an SUV! Love.
We arrived to this:
A true old style stone cottage with a wicked modern addition. Did I mention is was RIGHT on the lake?
Thanks to my Dad, and his boat, we tore up the water ways. Making a statement on “our” lake, screaming and laughing until our sides hurt. For some of us older out of shape folks we literally tubed until it hurt.
You see, legs are not supposed to stretch that way when you are a dude!!
The younger one’s were much cuter to watch. 
We watched movies in the “Boat House”, went for countless walks, and ate way too much food. So much food! 
Now it’s back to the real world of bills, phone calls, appointments, laundry and eek almost school!! I will not be overwhelmed, I will not be overwhelmed. I will just lay my head down every night, count my very many blessings, and try desperately to hang on to that completely relaxed, unplugged from the world, oh so good, vacation feeling. Sigh.
Think it’s too early to start the countdown to the next vacation?
I am loving that stone cottage and really, everything about your getaway!
I’m thrilled to read that you had a fabulous vacation. It looks wonderful!
Love the new blog look. The cottage looks fab too! Three cheers for being unplugged.
Oh, it’s so sad when vacations come to an end! I truly miss summer already and um, we’re not even into fall yet! LOL. Great pics, looks like a great time. Love the fresh new look of your blog, too! xo
