Almost exactly a year ago, we went on a weekend getaway with some friends to Camano Island, and stayed in these darling cabins on Cama Beach. We had so much fun, we decided to do it again this year...and again, it was a blast! It might seem weird to do a beach vacation in the winter, but the cabins are heated and we have a good time sitting inside and playing games while the rain patters outside. Plus this year, we unexpectedly got a sunny Saturday! We took advantage of it, exploring the island, combing the beach for seaglass, sitting outside and chatting, and having a campfire at night. It was especially nice to see all the stars out, since last year it was foggy the entire time. That's one of my favorite things about getting away from the city! We also saw lots of bald eagles, a seal, llamas, and wild bunnies...but of course, the best part was hanging out with each other.

Our friends Peter and Hannah are moving to Germany soon, so it was especially nice to spend some quality time with them. We are really going to miss them (sniff!).

So there you go! Some pictures from our weekend. It wasn't a fancy vacation or anything, but it was really fun. And I'm trying to do a better job of documenting our everyday life, friends, and family...the stuff I want to remember and look back on, not just "Instagram-worthy" shots of pretty things.

How was your weekend? What did you do?

   LOVE that you got to go to this lovely spot! And...look at that chess set :). Sounds like you had a very precious time. This is a great way to blog as I am always about family stories :).

     Haha, yes--Ben and Ken have been really into chess lately, so they were very excited when they saw that giant chess set.
     
     We did have a lovely time! Extra precious since Peter & Hannah are leaving so soon. I'm glad you don't mind the personal blog posts here and there. :) I still want to keep my focus on interiors & design, but it's nice to share a little bit of my life as well! As much as I love pretty houses, these personal posts are the ones that I'm most likely to look up later.
