Blue Lake

Early morning sun and mountain air pouring in through the cabin window, boyfriend fly fishing out on our private dock, zac brown band singing on the radio, the smell of bacon cooking, and the sound of our fire crackling outside. Pure happiness.
But seriously, I wanted to stay on holiday forever and never come back. It was just too perfect. We weren't really sure what to expect when we booked this trip, but it turned out to be one of the best vacations yet. Even though it was only for two nights. 
When we reserved our cabin, they told us we were booking the nicest cabin they had, which sounded awesome! We didn't know that we got our own private dock and canoe and hot tub to! Not to mention that they did a fantastic job at making each cabin and campsite super private so you had lots of privacy and didn't have to worry about random people walking through your site. The cabin was beautiful. It had a full kitchen and bathroom, two rooms and a mudroom. Even satellite TV! I know I know, not really camping. More like glamping. But after cuddling next to the fire and going inside and watching a movie together before bed made it feel almost more like you were right at home.

There was lots of wildlife we got to see. Including deer, awesome looking birds, muskrats, fish, and even a little mouse that lived in our cabin, I named him Henry haha. 

The fishing was fabulous. The lake didn't have anything huge in it, but tons of small and medium trout. When you would make your cast, you'd have a bite within the minute, which made it so much fun and I was able to practice tons of different kinds of fishing using all different kinds of baits and lures. We did some fly fishing while trolling on the canoe. Caught a few fish which was pretty fun because when you use a fly rod, the rod is so sensitive that the fish always puts up such a big fight and it feels so much more rewarding when you reel him in.

 Saturday was filled with fishing, swimming, suntanning, hiking, and canoeing. When we first checked in it was suggested to us that we make sure and do the hike to the look-out spot. She said to be careful because it's so beautiful that you may never want to leave but to make sure you take supplies and have good shoes. That hooked me right away. I said to Ryan we HAVE to do it. And oh my gosh were we happy we did. I've never seen something like that before. The hike was ALL incline. I was good at first but oh wow, we needed to take a few breaks. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the top. It was hard to tell where you were because of all the trees around you, but all of a sudden we could feel a breeze start. And the closer we got the stronger the wind became. It was so exciting. And she wasn't lying about the view. I could have stayed up there forever. I don't think there was any amount of time that was long enough for me to feel as if I had taken it all in. I really don't like admitting this, but I nearly cried at how beautiful it was. The pictures we took just don't do what saw justice. We had so much fun doing it that we made a promise to do as many hikes like that from now on as we possibly can.

 All in all it was a great weekend. We were sad it was so short but we plan to go back again next year.
