Resurfacing after a faster than can be believed vacation at Semiahmoo (pictured above). It’s absolutely breathtaking there — the beach the sky all gray and Fall-like, the lodge cozy and warm…. Great coffee and chocolate and sleep and rest. And no mind-altering substances of any kind. Admittedly, a very twitchy couple of hours leading up to the fancy dinner (could I make it without ordering some amazing wine?) Phone calls made to support system, dark chocolate consumed against the urge and phew! Made it through. This vacation was just a small taste of what we’ll hopefully muster later this year or early next (a real, longer than one night, vacation away from the kiddies and the worries and the houses and the jobs)….
Until then #13 has never been so lucky.
ah…. teh thanks man.
Semiahmoo is beautiful, and it was the perfect weekend to go up there and not leave the room . . . except for dinner!
Glad you got to relax!
Very cool.
What a fabulous place to get away, however briefly! Dinner without wine can be challenging at first. What I found interesting is how my choices in restaurants and cuisine changed when the pressure of wine (or any alcohol) choice was removed.
Thanks for the link to you choice of Perfect Post!
Wow, that place looks great.
I need another vacation…
Gah that is the most beautiful thing Bossy has ever laid two jealous eyes on…
