Into the Woods

 

 

Our Labor Day weekend was spent in the woods of northern Michigan. It was beautiful, peaceful and gave us the opportunity to disconnect for a few days. We stayed at a cabin owned by our good friends, right on the quiet north branch of the Au Sable River and spent the days sitting on the dock, watching the river flow by. At night, you could find us next to the campfire, gazing at the millions of bright stars.

We ventured out a few times. Once to sit at a bar next to the river, sipping a few cocktails and enjoying a sunny afternoon. There has to be an amazing story about how these canoes ended up in this tree :-)

Another afternoon was spent canoeing on the crystal clear river, without a soul in sight, for the three hour trip. The only noise was from the birds singing and the trout jumping in the water. I wish I could have taken my camera, because the scenery around every bend of the river was truly amazing.

It was a weekend that we definitely needed, to relax and leave the stress of everyday life behind. Technology is great, but putting away the phone and Internet and listening to your thoughts is just what you need now and then. Our time in the woods was the perfect way to spend our holiday weekend.

Hope your weekend is great!
