Weekend Getaway

The crew is nestled back into the city after a wonderful weekend getaway in WI.

We all really needed the trip, much more than I even thought. It was perfect.

Sunny weather, basically uninhabited property, wooded trails for miles. We spent the entire time outside.

Ben fearlessly walked straight into the lake - very much to my surprise (I brought no swimsuit, it never warmed up past 65 and the water was freezing but he didn't seem to notice). He was literally in knee deep, fully clothed, before I could even get his pants off, which is why he is wearing this weird outfit.

We hit a fish fry and made a half a dozen new friends. I shopped WI grocery, which really has no comparison in terms of cheese selection and kitchy baked goods.

We saw every farm animal we've practiced at home, and moo'd all the way to and fro.

And dear Stella, she is still smiling in her sleep. There is nothing that makes Stella happier than being out of the city.

Cheers to the weekend getaway. To recharging. To the fresh air. Life is good.
