How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Living The Cottage Life

in Family, Lifestyle, Travel on 08/13/14

We made it to the cottage!  A vacation I look forward to all year long. (no really I have a countdown on my phone and everything!)

It’s a chance to unplug, and spend an entire week with the one’s I love the most.

Long hot summer days spent swimming off the dock.

Contemplating who can swim the farthest.Cottage2014DockDays

Drifting through the clean crisp water, without a trouble in the world.

Cottage2014B

Ending every night with old fashioned board games, laughter, and even a quick glass of wine fire side.

Cottage2014A

I am so thankful for our getaway “up north” every year.  The chance to create some new traditions and make some memories with our children. 

It’s decided; cottage life is truly good for the soul.

      Definitely agree–that looks wonderful. Just returned from our last vacation of the summer–time to get back to reality. Blah.

      It’s been so long since I went away anywhere, although I do live in a spot where most people come to get away, so I can’t complain too much 🙂
