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.

  9. gosh eloise is insanely cute! :)

    i love getting away to nature. i always imagine myself hiding away for a few years in a cabin, just learning the proper rhythms of nature and getting back in touch with my inner self...and then reality sinks in, and i start thinking about bills and rent and my boyfriend, and i realize it'll probably always be just a dream to live that way. but it's nice to escape to every now and again!

    We're so looking forward to our trip up to cottage country this Summer. I have this dream that we're going to go there and just stay... indefinitely. If only!
