How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

..and then she left the suburbs behind!

in Lifestyle, Travel on 08/20/13

I’m almost afraid to say it aloud.  We packed our SUV, stuffed it to overflowing actually, left the city behind and boogied up to Cottage Country.  Since we arrived we have had two nearly perfect cottage country days.  Swimming, laughing, fishing, eating, laughing and playing…hard.  We are doing things all families should do, and it feels just so right.

I am missing my internet loves, but not to worry, I will be back!  In a week or so!  Until then, much love from the beauty of cottage country and hope you are all feeling as blessed as I am at this very moment.  Cottage2013day1Cottage2013day2

I know this is not wordless and I owe you all some love, but hoping you will all leave a comment and link up anyway! 

I promise to come visit when my feet are firmly back in the suburbs! xoxo

      I haven’t visited for a while. Sorry! I do enjoy reading about your suburban adventures…
      I pretty much live in cottage country here in my part of BC, but I have been to a cottage in Kenora where I enjoyed a very rainy, but relaxing three days once upon a time.
      You are having a wonderful, active, sunny vacation with your family. The BEST!

      What a wonderful thing to be able to do, run away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy nature and you have a wonderful place to do just that. Thanks for sharing and for coming by!! Karren
