We decided to run off on a mini vacation this week. I’m not exactly “rested up” but it was nice to have a change of scenery for a while. Winters can really get you down here in New England; stuck in the house day in and day out. We didn’t go far, just an hour north to Mass. We rented a cozy cottage on a (frozen) lake surrounded by trees. Being snowed in at a cottage with pine walls, huge windows, and a fireplace really cozies things up a bit and helps you enjoy the snow. I was actually excited to see the huge snowflakes falling when I woke up in the morning and looked out through the wall of glass in front of our bedroom. It was a beautiful sight! (Only wish I had the camera at that point! lol) The four of us played out in the snow and made the cutest snowman I have ever seen. The snow wasn’t sticking very well, but we were determined to build that man! Hence his short fat stature. ;0) We also visited Sturbridge Village while we were there. I always enjoy that place. Stepping back into time to enjoy the simple life. It makes you want to live there and just escape everything.
