Kayaking

And what would an adventure be without some fisheye =)

These pictures crack me up. What a man! 

A Perfect Cozy Oasis

WE are such HUGE fans of Rustic Cottages. For so many reasons, but here's our top six! 

1. They have fireplaces inside each cottage and a porch for you to relax on! Perfect for a cozy weekend away!

2. The amount of free stuff they give away makes this cheap-o very happy! Free breakfast (Best waffles I've ever had)! Free Rustic Cottage coffee cups! Free 24/7 warm brownies and cookies! Free shaving cream and bathroom supplies! Free wall of movies to borrow! Free sleds to borrow! Free! Free! Free!

3. You can bring your dog.

4. Everyone there is SO nice. We always end up making friends with the staff. 

5. They have croquet set up on the lawn.

6. About 20 feet away they have beach access to Lake Tahoe. Perfect for picnics and sunset snuggles.

Looking for a place to get-a-way? This place is perfect for couples and I hear they have larger cottages for families too. Last year we went cross-country skiing, this year we brought a kayak, and next year we want to bring our bikes to loop around the lake. There is just so much to do! Check them out here!

Sometime you just need to get away. 

We did just that a few weekends ago. We borrowed a kayak, 

hopped in our truck, left all obligations behind, and headed to our favorite place, Rustic Cottages, which is right across the street from Lake Tahoe. 

Every time we stay there it's pretty magical. 

Like the perfect weather for kayaking. 

More pictures to come. 

So many tomatoes. So little time.

We officially have enough marinara sauce to last us the winter. Huzzah!
