We have a vacation planned in July to go up to a place called Silver Bay in Ney York. My family has property there where my mom's side of the family sort of time-shares it. We all own the property but because the family is so big, you have to request time there. I haven't been since high school... and I graduated college 2 years ago. Needless to say, its been a while.
This place is right on Lake George. We have 2 docks, boats, canoes, there are trails to hike, hammocks to laze in, a raft to swim to and pretty much nothing to worry about. It has got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world for me to go. Luke has never been there and is SUPER excited to go for his first time.
I'm craving time away so bad, I can almost taste the air there. I can feel the wind in my face when riding in the boat, I can hear the gentle slap of the lake water when it hits the stone ledge. I can imaging the kids fighting over the swing in the back, feel the cold strem water on my feet, see the creepy American Indian tapestry that has haunted my dreams since I was a child.
I love this place more than anything. I don't realize I miss it until I'm this close to going. I miss my family, I miss my cousins. I never get to see them because they're all so far away.
Penfield Cottage
The Cottage from the Lake
Every family has their own plaque to put up when they're at the cottage. My parents bought us ours for our wedding and I can't WAIT to hang it!
This doesn't even do the place justice.
