Off the grid. Underground. No connections to the interwebs.
This is not quite true... just very limited access.
When my mother-in-law said she wanted to have the family go on a vacation, I was excited to spend time with the family. I knew it would be fun and a relationship building experience. I have enjoyed spending time with Drew's family and this was not that different.
We hiked, took great photos, went to the top of the mountains, played games, slept in and read books. We went to the local mercantile for shopping and then for dinner and music during the week. We wore ourselves out on the second day with a 5 mile hike. I didn't do all of it.
I am not in the best of shape and it was a hard hike for me. But the river was beautiful and refreshing. I now have some goals to set for myself, which I am doing. (Go Me!)
Here is a look at the PoleBridge Mercantile:
We were excited to play Muchkin with the family as well as Guillotine! We had fun explaining the game and seeing the giggles at the types of cards that came up. Drew's mom got the SuperMunchkin card and was enjoying stacking all the gear and classes as well as the second race she could have. Yes she kicked butt and won. Drew won Guillotine. It was great to play something we love with people we love.
The cabin was much bigger than I expected. It was at least 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was amazing. And it also had enough space that the owners had part blocked off for them to stay in if they wanted to while they had visitors.
That is a tiny pic of Drew for perspective of the cabin. I must say I just don't want to be here in the winter. It is too isolated for me. As much as I enjoy the beauty of the area, I am truly a city girl. I will say this is one of my favorite things though:
