it was time to refresh, reaffirm, replenish, renew.
we chose this modest one-bedroom condo with a beautiful woods and lake view.
the living room and bedroom both walked out onto the little deck.
relaxing in this whirpool tub was a requirement every day!
we enjoyed being able to do some of our own cooking instead of having to eat out for every meal.
we certainly brought enough food!
on friday night we made our own homemade pizza–just like we do every week at home.
i savored my elegantly served fresh fruit for breakfast.
we ate out once a day to check out the “local flavor.” on our first night we tried this old saloon. the food was superb!
the french onion soup was as perfect as it looks.
this salad was a meal!

loved this sign by the exit:
this cute little diner was a disappointment. the ambience was perfect for a light lunch, but the food was greasy and it took forever to come. (too bad we didn’t get smart and leave!)
saturday night we went to a local brewery (funny, since we don’t drink). everything was perfect. they served these homemade cheese curds (yes, even the cheese was homemade!) that were the best we’ve ever had!
a condo in the northwoods+long weekend=refreshed spirits, reaffirmed relationship, replenished energy, renewed purpose.
how do you renew yourself?
