Yes, I think the best approach for the weekend trip would be to leave Friday afternoon around three so we can miss the heaviest traffic. I checked the route and it should take roughly two and a half hours depending on construction near the bridge. We can stop at that bakery you like along the way for a quick break. I booked the cabin for two nights and confirmed the key code will be sent the morning of arrival. Let me know if you want to bring supplies for the grill or if you prefer we pick up groceries after we settle in.

I think the garden project is coming along really well now that we decided to focus on perennials that bloom at different times. The soil amendment should arrive Tuesday and I plan to spread it before the weekend rain. We still need to decide about the border edging material and whether we want stone or the treated timber option. The local nursery suggested a mix of lavender and salvia for the sunny side and ferns for the shaded corner near the fence. I can pick up the plants Thursday afternoon if that works for your schedule.
