simple things...

what i love most about living in washington is the easy access we have to nature.  it is so easy for us to leave our backyard and go on a nature walk or take a short drive to a waterfall or a beautiful hike.  one of my favorite things is our neighborhood lake, "lake wilderness."  i love this lake because when we go i always feel like i am on vacation.  this lake is less than a 5 minute drive from our house, we can even walk there!  i always said i wanted to create the life that i don't need a vacation from and when i go to the lake i feel instantly relaxed and like i am vacationing somewhere far away.  it is my happy place for sure!  last night we took a picnic dinner to the lake and it was the perfect way to wind down the day.  i love my little family and enjoy these special times doing the simple things in life.
