-ON THE HILL-
Last month, my family took our vacation to Lake Chelan, where we rented a house not near the lake, but atop a hill that overlooks the entire thing. We took the dogs along since the lake was close enough, and off we drove to our temporary home for 5 days!
With a wraparound porch, swimming pool, hot tub, and a view to die for, it was hard not to appreciate how beautiful the house was. Most of our time was spent relaxing at the house: swimming in the pool (the swimsuit tan lines are real), reading on the porch, or trying to capture the view on Snapchat. I only went down to the lake for one day out of our stay to go parasailing (!!!) and get an up-close view of the lake itself, but I honestly could have stayed at the house for the entirety of our trip.
We also celebrated Zadie's 5th birthday while we were there, so we bought a little cake from Safeway, and played with dart guns and whoopee cushions after she blew out the candles. With all of us at one place, we never ran out of things to do, and I couldn't think of a better way to have spent the hottest week of summer.
I can't wait for autumn to begin, but I'll also miss the warm days of summer where I could sit outside in a tank top + shorts reading my favorite poolside magazines.
