A Much Needed Little Vacation!



Rob and his family own a cabin on Canim Lake which is up by 100 Mile House, we go there at least once a year, but would love to go more often, it's a 6 hour drive. It's absolutley beautiful, with the lake, the mountains, the forest, so peaceful and relaxing. Rob and I made an impromtu trip up there on Wednesday seeing as we both had Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off. I got all the groceries together, made a menu plan, put together as much as I could because Rob was working till midnight on Tuesday. So Wednesday comes, we load up the car, drive to his parents, switch cars because we are bringing up a bike and it doesn't fit in Rob's Passat. We are on the road by 10:45am, the drive itself is uneventful, long, but nothing interesting. We plan to just hang out at the cabin, rides bikes, go for walks maybe take the boat on the water, just relax, watch some tv maybe. We get to the cabin and start taking stuff in when Rob all of a sudden realizes that the satellite box is not there and we have no tv! On but my goodness, what are we going to do for three days with no tv? We so thought about going right back home, but we didn't! It turned out to be the most wonderful relaxing, just be together weekend, I learned things about him I didn't know, we had some great talks and lots of laughs. No tv turned out to be a huge blessing! We are going up there again in July with my family and then staying for a week with Rob's extended family. It's such a blessing to have a place so beautiful to go to and just be peaceful.
