We escaped the city this past weekend. This is really special for us as we rarely take weekend trips or leave the city. We stayed in a cabin up north and enjoyed the quiet surroundings. I think Eloise really enjoyed it too.
My favourite part was picnicking by the river, watching the sun set on the porch and just being at peace with my little family. I am always amazed at how beautiful Ontario is when you drive a few hours north. Next time, we want to stay longer.
