Muskoka 2014

Husband M, Daughter L, son K and I spent last weekend at L's boyfriend's family's cottage. It was a wonderful time, we felt spoiled.  One day, the family took us on a long boatride through the Muskoka and Rosseau lakes.  It might have been the best weekend all summer weatherwise.  We passed by some pretty boathouses.  Some of them look big enough to live in, let alone house boats.  (L's boyfriend's family just has a nice normal cottage, no boathouse).  We happened upon an Antique Boat Show at the locks.  We had lunch that at a nice restaurant on a golf course.  The Chicken Farfalle (bowtie pasta) I had was excellent, followed by this massive brownie dessert that we shared.  Here are some photos I took for you):

Son K and I went for a swim underneath this expensive property for sale. There was a little swimming hole we could swim into, under the rocks. It was so fun, I felt like a child again!

How glorious. This takes me back years. I love Port. I remember that Dec. snow day. Cars stuck on the hill!
yes, the boathouses are quite perfect for guests. Way too close to the water, though.
What a lovely tour! (ツ) from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!

Sounds like such a great time, Christine! It's always fun to feet like a child again. Something we should experience more often.

This looks like a great get-away. How kind of the family to invite you along. I have to say, we know no one like that so I am envious when I hear tales like yours.
