We're going on Vacation!

Growing up, we never went on really big, extravagant vacations, but living in south Georgia, we did make it down to Orlando several times for short visits to Disney and other area attractions. These are the times I cherished, and I want to continue the tradition of Summer vacations with Sara and her future siblings.

Whether it's a few short trips, or one big get away, I think the time together to decompress and have a great time is priceless. Since I've been with my husband, unfortunately, we haven't traveled much together except for a handful of times. That is something I want to change now that Sara is here.

Over the last few weeks, I've been thinking about where we can go that's close, and would be fun for the whole family. My husband isn't much of a beach person, but he has said that he likes lakes. So ultimately, I took the jump and booked a resort stay at Lake Chelan, in Eastern Washington.

Since moving here, I've never been, but the lake, with it's crystal clear, turquoise water, I've learned, is a very popular destination for Seattleites. It's only a few hours away, and easily accessible. Just about everyone I know has been at least once, if not multiple times.

Looking at the pictures online, the water and beaches resemble closely those in the Bahamas or Caribbean, another destination I love.

I can't wait to try out stand up paddle boarding, relaxing on a sandy beach, and splashing around in the beautiful water with Sara! Summer can't get here fast enough!
