I talk fairly often about having cabin fever. This summer was crazy hard on me for this reason. While I could be outside more than I feel I can in winter, I didn’t go anywhere. Ever. Usually summer is synonymous with camping, road trips, and barbecue. It wasn’t in 2012. Brady and I had a couple of nice opportunities to go on weekend trips but never according to our plan. They would either be cut short by a changed work schedule or we would go somewhere because I was just that low that I needed to be somewhere else.
I’m feeling that way again. I’m biting my nails again. I’m not eating very well. My house is a complete mess. Its time. I’m sooo ready for a weekend away in a couple of days! Waskesiu, here we come! I’m hoping we get a lot of comfy downtime, and some solid outside time, playing in the snow. Our room has a jacuzzi in it, and last time we had a jacuzzi room, Brady, Dekker, and I all piled in and it was kind of a hoot! So hopefully that’ll play out similarly this time. I know Dekker hates baths right now, but maybe with tons of bubbles and deeper water, it’ll be more fun. Yikes! Gotta remember to put bath toys on the packing list!!
One of my favorite parts of our Waskesiu anniversary trips is the food. And not because its amazing! Nothing is open in town except the hotels restaurant, which is sooo expensive! And our room doesn’t have a kitchenette. So we always end up bringing ridiculous appliances, like our electric frying pan, hot pot, sandwich maker, etc. and we cook bare minimum food. Delicious, guilty pleasure comfort food. Of course, we stuff the mini fridge full of fruit and milk, and have all sorts of snacks strewn around the room. Its a good set up 🙂 Kind of chaotic. One year, we brought pancake stuff and no whisk. I know, use a fork. But ours were tiny little picnic forks. So we went and asked for a whisk at the restaurant and they gave us this HUGE industrial sized thing! Good laugh 🙂
Our time away will be quirky and comfy. I am more than ready to be somewhere else for a few days!
Sounds like a blast – I hope you have a great time! We’d love to come along, but all that communal bathing you guys are into ….. 😉
You are officially not invited then. Forget about the hottubs on the roof too! 😉
