This weekend, we joined some friends at a lakefront cabin, an hour north of Manhattan. Every evening, after Toby fell asleep, Alex and I would sit on the dock, drinking white wine (my favorite) and chatting about nothing in particular. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I want to beam myself back there right now. xoHow was your Fourth? Hope you had a good one.
amazing! I can feel the quiet. Must've had some great chats :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Those photos are gorgeously serene. Looks like you guys had a great Fourth of July! :)
ReplyDeleteYou both look so happy and at peace. Seems like it was perfect bliss.
ReplyDeleteI have a long layover in Newark on Thursday (8 hours!) - any recommendations on what to do?
This is awesome. It reminds me of a vacation I took with my now husband to the Smoky Mountains. Sigh. I, too, wish I could beam myself back there. I think I need a friend with a lake cabin STAT. : O )
ReplyDeletewow, such beautiful photos. Looks like the perfect 4th!
ReplyDeletemy goodness, those pictures are beautiful. i thought they were from a magazine or something until the one with your faces. ha.those are ones to frame on the wall :) it looks magical there.
ReplyDeletewow who took these gorgeous photos of you?! So beautiful, Joanna!
ReplyDeleteahhh, you guys look so cute. What a lovely dock at the lake.
ReplyDeletethanks for these sweet comments! our friend danny took them :)
ReplyDeletehaha, marty, everyone should have a friend with a cabin! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. I love the reflection of the sky in the water. Makes me want to get out to the country.
ReplyDeletehow serene! it's so good to see what a lovely, normal couple you are. you look sweet.

What a beautiful place and a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDeleteAnnalise, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous on thursday -- 85 and sunny! i would take the train into manhattan, and then go to the Highline and get ice cream, sit outside and read a book, go to chelsea market and get a lobster roll or yummy sandwich, walk by the water, etc. :) there are also pretty shops on 9th avenue (little french home shops, lovely bookstores, etc.) OR you could go to the Museum of Modern Art, which is amazing, and has a fantastic cafe for lunch, and a sculpture garden where you can chill out and read a book. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so lovely! What a wonderful way to spend a weekend. I am counting the days until my lakeside vacation later this summer. These pictures make me even more excited for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend the 4th! I spent my fourth alone with my bestfriend shooting off bottle rockets, playing with sparklers, grabbing sonic, and taking pictures. It was pretty easy-going all around! (;
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the perfect summer weekend.
ReplyDeletehow very dreamy! what a wonderful way to enjoy summer, the sunset and each other. lovely. xo, katie
ReplyDeletethese pictures are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! We went to our local lake and spent the day there. I love being by the water.. no matter what, ocean, lake, river.. I will be a happy camper.

ReplyDeletewow that's magical
ReplyDeletehttp://girlynote.blogspot.com/
that looks heavenly. My hubby wants to live up north someday (Alaska, actually) and our dream home is a log cabin in the woods. Perhaps someday we'll be doing the same thing! Glad you had such a lovely weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHubby and I spent the day with friends and family. And got one of those old-fashioned portraits taken. Our town is "America's Fourth of July City" so they go all out! :)
You look so relaxed and lovely! And your pictures are American summer at its best :)
ReplyDeleteMy family and I escaped from Paris to Burgundy...

ReplyDeleteawww you guys are so cute. I love couples who dispel the theory that you can still be lovey dovey and romantic AFTER having a kid!
ReplyDeletewww.simplystylishmom.com
Those pictures are so ridiculously cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI spent the 4th buying a new computer (yay!!), then my husband and I took our dog to "Yappy Hour" (like happy hour, but dogs are allowed to attend!) at a local bar, and we topped the evening off with dinner at my parents' house with my nieces from Colorado - they're out here to visit for the week and I haven't seen them in 3 years! Sooo excited to spend the week catching up with them!! :-)
What special pictures. So cute!
ReplyDeleteamazing. i'd take a lakefront cabin visit any day. we live in sacramento, so we put up a wading pool to beat the scorching heat. ghetto, but fun with glasses of wine, great food, and awesome company :)

Oooooh. This looks lovely! I want to go to there. I'm dying to know where this magical place is an hour from the City!
ReplyDeletethat looks so relaxing and beautiful. my mom calls quiet time by water "soul searching" and we always used to make fun of her for it, but nw i cherish those types of moments!
ReplyDelete(i'm a white drinker too! i love a good tangy sauvignon blanc!)
marissa, i know, white wine is the best! i love sauvignon blanc and chenin blanc and vermentino and...all of them really :)

It's nice to see two people with a baby still making time to talk with each other.
ReplyDeleteI flew into NYC to visit with my boyfriend for the next week or so. We watched the fireworks over the Hudson and listened to all the musicians in Central Park.
ReplyDeleteI love that you two are so sweet together and you are so willing to share with the rest of us...Happy 4th to you, too!

ReplyDeleteThat looks so lovely Joanna...I'm so missing the States, especially over Fourth of July weekend! My husband tried to make it special for us by buying a grill and tracking down US meat to make hamburgers...it was quite a story! This place you visited looks beautiful and we hope to get back to that part of the world someday soon! Thanks for your pictures...they are calming just looking at them.

ReplyDeleteLove sharing some quiet time. Yours looked extra nice! Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteThese pics are great. look so like the wanderlust photos you posted last week. before you mentioned you were looking for a calm and peaceful pic for your new bedroom -perhaps frame one of these? they are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat dock is amazing! Does part of it fold up to make the seat you and hubby were leaning against?
ReplyDeletethe golden hour! i love these shots of the two of you. my favorite part? the reflection of those clouds in the water.
ReplyDeletethis is exactly what i thought of when i saw this!
ReplyDeletehttp://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2011/06/wanderlust.html

ReplyDeletevicki, yes! it's so cool, there's a little fold-up bench :)
ReplyDeletemary, kati and wildchild, thanks for the idea to frame one of these -- maybe one would look great above our bed. that would definitely be soothing :)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos! My husband has a family cabin and it's our favorite place - beautiful and relaxing. Now, I'm wishing I were there :)

Hello Joanna,
ReplyDeleteYou have the same name as my sister whom I am very close with.
Your photos are fun. I'm actually very stressed out lately and I've thinking about vacation for like two days now. Seeing your photos made me wish I'm in a beach right now. There are lots of beautiful, really beautiful beaches here in the Philippines and I, tool, wanna beam myself in any of them right now. :)

Hi Joanna,
ReplyDeleteI have 3 years' old doughter and to be honest I miss this kind of moment! I am happy though to see that you had these moments :) GREAT!
Also I think that is only you and this person who is for you to care for those moments - I know I can only do something about it - just arrange things to make it happens. Isn't it?
Cheers!
Ola
