A few days away, just the three of us. There was time on the beach searching for and collecting rocks, there was time to read, knit and play bug bingo, there was time for exploring on the hiking trails and there was time on the beach at sun set. We stayed at
The Pinery, in a yurt. We cooked meals on the barbeque provided, and ate outside. We got up when we wanted to, and feel asleep just after the sun set. No phones, no clocks, no connection, except to each other. The days were simple and slow, just the way we like them. It was a wonderful few days, and the perfect way to kick off our summer.

Looks like you had such an amazing and quiet time. I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great week and wonderful Canada Day Eh?!?
:-) xo
We did, thanks. Happy Canada Day to you too! xo
DeleteLovely few days of rest. Enjoy the week!
ReplyDeleteThanks you too Kathleen.
DeleteThat is an unplugged getaway! I think I would be challenged to do it. Sounds like the three of you had a grand time and are rested up to be replugged once more!
ReplyDeleteIt was, and it was so wonderful! We live a pretty unplugged life in general, so a few days without really isn't too big a deal.
DeleteLook at those gorgeous rocks! How did your rock lover ever choose what to bring home?
ReplyDeleteThey were pretty awesome! He had a hard time, but did come home with some pretty great rocks for his collection, and to share with some friends :)
Deletesuch a lovely beginning to a summer seaon!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was pretty perfect :)
DeleteSounds like bliss. Beautiful photos, and those rocks look amazing, Reece must have loved them.
ReplyDeleteHe did, so hard for him, and us, to stop picking them up :)
DeleteLooks like it was lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was!
Deletelooks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteMaking memories, that's what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of the book? I read it too.
So true Tracey.
DeleteI know you did, I saw it on your blog :) I enjoyed it. It was a very hard read for me in the beginning, but reading about how resilient they were, and what they have become gave me so much hope. What did you think?
Sounds perfectly lazy and wonderful! Those memories will last forever. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so. I often wonder what my little man will remember. Only time will tell.
DeleteI love those rocks. And I like how your knitting echoes the colors of the forest. So glad you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteThanks KC! Yes, the rocks were pretty awesome. I hadn't noticed that about my knitting, but you are right :)
DeleteLooks marvelous! What a wonderful getaway. We're hoping to get to the seashore this summer (kinda late on the planning thing but that's just how we roll sometimes) and your photos make me want to go so much more.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful. I do hope you make it to the shore this summer :)
DeleteLooks like many beautiful memories were made. I really like the one of Reece and his Dad hand in hand on the beach. Sleeping in a Yurt sounds fun. Be well.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites too :) The yurt was lovely, and perfect for my hubby with his bad back.
DeleteLooks like a lovely time Kim. xxoo
ReplyDeleteIt was Julie, we had such a lovely time. xo
DeleteThose photos are just beautiful, what a wonderful way to spend a few days, connecting and spending focused time together. Sara (@mumturnedmom) #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a lovely time away, and we all came home refreshed.
DeleteI bet memories were made. My children talk about beach holidays from years ago, which surprises me, as they were so little. Beautiful setting to just unwind and be together. #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteOh that makes me smile, I do hope Reece remembers these family times we are sharing.
DeleteWow, sounds like just the perfect place. Those photo's are stunning! #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was a lovely spot.
DeleteIt all sounds like an idyllic hideaway and a great place to spend some quality family time together. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteIt was idyllic for sure, and a spot we will visit again. Thanks for hosting :)
Deletewhat a lovely lovely break :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was :)
DeleteThat looks amazing!!! The photo's are super and it looks like a great place to relax and just be. #Countrykids
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was lovely.
DeleteWow, that all looks so very beautiful and that bridge is just wonderful it seems to go on forever. Sounds like the perfect time, nothing but each other. #countrykids
ReplyDeleteThe bridge does go on for quite some time. It is built over the sand dunes to protect the dunes from damage by humans walking through and on them. It was pretty awesome. And yes, perfect time away.
DeleteSounds awesome. No technology! Its also like that in our camping. At first I feel restless but eventually I would just enjoy the trip rather than to think hey I colud instagram this =P #countrykids
ReplyDeleteIt was. Ah yes, nice to be without the technology. It is really only the computer we were without, we have a cell phone, but only use it for emergencies, so there is no data plan which means no IG or anything else. It feels pretty easy to leave the computer for a few days, the only problem is the amount of email to catch up on :)
