images from the weekend


Hi lovely friends! I hope you had an amazing weekend! We went on our annual Williams family getaway - this year heading to Harrison Hot Springs. It was an awesome spot for a quick night away. We rented three cottages at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort. I'm a huge fan of the cottages versus staying in the hotel for quite a few reasons. At the cottages, your car is parked right beside your room, making it much easier to unload gear. Also, we were able to put the little one to sleep in the bedroom, and have everyone over in our cabin's living room where we could stay up late drinking vino and playing games by the fire. If we had stayed in hotel rooms, we wouldn't have been able to all get together like that. The cabins are also far enough apart from one another that you don't hear your neighbours. And best of all, in the cabins, your dogs can stay with you free of charge (if you stayed in one of the hotel rooms it is an extra $100 for your furry friend (still talking about your dog here, not some unfortunate hairy friend you may have). We went for a few swims in the amazing hot springs and went on a gorgeous lakeside walk. It was the perfect place for an overnighter - it was only a 1.5 hour drive from home without any border or ferry line-ups to deal with. I highly recommend it if you want a relaxing escape. Do you do any annual trips with your family?
