For the past couple of days, we’ve spent some time out at Lake Edge Cottages near Lakefield and Young’s Point. It wasn’t the best weather for adventures, but it was pretty great weather for hiding indoors at a cottage.
We opened gifts, and I made it so we had to delay opening them, only opening one at a time every few hours – our last gift being opened just before we left – this gave us something more to look forward to, and let us reflect on the great words and thoughts shared with our loved ones, and so we could enjoy the presents even more. We have a lot of Thank You’s to get expressed.
As for the cabin, it was pretty amazing – it feels like you’re out in the middle of nowhere, though Highway 28 is seconds away. Each cabin gets wifi and a hot tub and a full apartment, so not exactly roughing it – we actually went in the hot tub on the second night there, and it was pretty snuggly.
Hopefully we can go back, maybe next year for a weekend. It’s the sort of escape that lets us experience far-away places, but not actually be far away.
