So I finally took that weekend trip up north and it was exactly what I needed. The drive was kind of long but the scenery made up for it. We stopped at a small diner for lunch and the waitress was super friendly. I ordered the club sandwich and it came with these amazing sweet potato fries. After eating we walked around the little town square and found a used bookstore. I picked up a couple of old science fiction novels. The weather was perfect – sunny but not too hot. We stayed at a cabin near the lake and spent the evening sitting on the porch just listening to the loons. Honestly I wish every weekend could be like that. I forgot how good it feels to disconnect from everything and just breathe. Next time I’m definitely going to bring my hiking boots because there were trails I didn’t get to explore. Anyway just wanted to share how nice it was.
