Hurray- Friday is almost here! And... so is my road trip with my husband and Mr. Bear to Southern Indiana! YES!! We are staying in a sweet cabin with a bunch of our friends for the weekend: time for hanging out, hiking, hot tubing, relaxing on the porch with hot cocoa, enjoying the fireplace.... We're each making a meal for everyone which will be fun and I plan on making a new cookie recipe.
One of my favorite getaways is going to a cabin. I used to really romanticize being bundled up in a cabin, with the snow swirling outside, but now that I live in Chicago, thank God this trip will be in May and in even warmer weather!
Packing Essentials: Cabin Trip
I've finally found an adorable weekender bag that will finally get me through the weekend! My other, well-traveled gold bag is fantastic for flying and whatnot, but is sadly too small to cover an entire weekend. This bag, which is half music festival/half Mary Poppins carpetbag, is light and roomy, without being overly large, in a gorgeous print (I got it at Forever 21!).
I settled on one fur collar sweater for chilly nights out on the porch, but my other clothing is well-suited for the seventy degree daytime. I have one hiking outfit and a bikini for the hot tub, along with some old turquoise jewelry from my gramma. I thought my Dooney would be perfect for our forested natural setting, and the tortoiseshell sunnies have no rational reasoning; they are simply cute. Of course, no road trip would be complete without an ipod for tunes on the way. And even if the chance of me reading is astronomically slim... I must still bring a novel (I've been on a little bit of a Russian kick since The Brothers Karamazov).
Now, before I go crazy, I better get back to giving Mr. Bear a bath, finishing up packing, hopefully working a little more today, making cookies (yay!), gathering up all the ingredients for our meal, transferring music to the ipod....
