With Labor Day comes the end of summer, white jeans (if you subscribe to that belief - which I do not), and tolerable commutes in D.C. (commence mourning period). But, it's also the perfect chance for that last getaway. While Dr. B and I are staying put this year, last weekend we took one final trip up North to Vermont. It was the perfect four-day jaunt to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary, catch up with family, and get in some r & r.
Brian's brother and his wife (and her family) have been vacationing at Basin Harbor Club on Lake Champlain for over ten years. Joining them for a few days was a no-brainer. I'm a mountain girl. You put me next to a lake and I'm a happy camper....especially when there is water skiing!
The 700+ acre resort is like adult camp (you can bring your kids too if you have them...and your dog). I'd be lying if I didn't admit to a few Dirty Dancing flashbacks. And I...had the time of my life...
While the cabins have a somewhat rustic feel (they could stand for a renovation), it adds to the resort's charm. Add in beautiful sunsets....
An 18-hole golf course, a pool, a gym, 5 tennis courts, three restaurants, and more outdoor activities than you can count on two hands - and I was in outdoor heaven. We water skied and tubed...
Went for long walks...
Followed by long periods of lounging...
And enjoyed good food and wine with two of our favorite people.
While the trip signaled the end of an amazing summer, we've got some pretty awesome things on tap for the fall! Happy Labor Day weekend!
Your dress is gorgeous!
