It’s not often we get out of the city on a weekend to spend time at a cottage. Luckily our friends Kaylea and Matt are awesome and invited us up to their place on a quiet, pretty lake on a near-picture-perfect weekend. We ate a lot of food and drank many, many drinks and swam in Bat Lake and cracked up pretty much the whole time. A few of the highlights:
- A warm lake, perfect for swimming in and boating on
- A whole brined+smoked+grilled chicken that melted in our mouths
- One of the most spectacular sunsets I’ve ever seen
- Cherry pie
- Impromptu dance party
- Lake of Bays mini-keg!
- Being the only one of the four of us not to drop a bottle or glass…I did, however, accidentally drop myself into the lake
- “Give me some ringolos, I’m f*cked!”
- Ten great bottles of wine, including a special treat: the 2001 Closson Chase Chardonnay I bought at auction a few months back — it seemed a little funky at first but ended up being pretty amazing…it was pretty special to share it at sunset, sitting on a dock with great friends
