Into the Woods

Where in the World: A Cabin in the Woods

The Inspiration: A sense of peace. Things got pretty busy there for me at the end of the semester, and my family reunion to honor my grandpa's 80th birthday just happened to overlap with the last week of classes. My family, particularly my mom, hosted all 29 of the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who came for almost a week. It was a happy sort of chaos, but a good bit of chaos nonetheless, and we were all exhausted before the last airport run on Tuesday evening. I had the "burden" of staying behind at the cabin for two days to do all of the laundry that we had left behind. It actually did take that long to get through the majority of it (and I still had to bring some sheets back home to wash here) but it was FANTASTIC to spend two days alone at the cabin with my dog. We had the woods, the lake, and the whole lovely cabin to ourselves. The first night noises from the field kept Angie on high alert all evening, which made me nervous, but red wine and full, orange moon more than made up for it. I'm so thankful that I have access to such a lovely place (it's owned by my generous aunt and uncle on the other side of my family), and I'm thinking I might just ask if I can go back the the very next time I have two days off in a row. =)
