After months of a family schedule that just never seems to quit, it was time for a weekend away with family and friends. We stayed in a rustic home along the Baker River, on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. There was no TV, no cell service, and no internet. There was the refreshing, mind-easing roar of Baker River. There was a screened in porch overlooking the river that housed a hammock and benches long enough to sleep on. And then there was a great big room with everything you could need in order to hang out and visit with friends and family. This huge space was centered on one end by a massive fireplace that was used each evening and each morning. In a nutshell, we had a blast! We truly experienced so many laughs and made so many memories all while doing things that we love and sharing the moments with people that we love. Here are a few pictures from Day 1 on our weekend up north. (Click on the pictures to enlarge them)
