A Weekend Away...
... with no kids

This year, in November, Paul and I celebrate 10 wonderful years of marriage.
We discussed many different options to get a way for a weekend, and kept coming back to the idea of going camping without the kids. We love to camp, we love to camp with our kids, but the thought of a peaceful weekend away with just the two of us with time to relax was sounding more and more inviting the more we discussed it. Our anniversary, however, is in November. Although, we do camp in November - the weather can be very unpredictable and we didn't want to get stuck without a decent weekend to go. Therefore, we decided to go a month earlier over Paul's birthday weekend. Excellent choice - the weather was beautiful and we had a wonderful couple of days together. The kids got split up between Grandma and Grandpa's house and Uncle Cory and Aunt Catherine's house the first night, and then they switched houses for the second night and they had all had a blast.

We picked a campsite set back in the woods a bit. Directly behind the trailer was a walking trail.

At the end of the walking trail, was this.....

The view of the lakes and the colors were beautiful.

It was a wonderful weekend away. We relaxed when we wanted to, took lots of walks, and did a lot of mountain biking. It was so enjoyable - I wonder if we should make it a yearly occurrence?
