Hot tub time machine cabin trip, part 2

"Hot Tub Time Machine Cabin Trip" was majorly epic. It was so great we're even planning to make this a tradition every year!

When we weren't busy eating ourselves to oblivion...

{ Friday night dinner before everyone had arrived }

{ Saturday morning breakfast }

There was some kayaking on the peaceful lake...

Time spent admiring the view and trees just barely on the verge of turning a glorious autumn red...

And lots of laughing with girlfriends...

Capturing memories...

And kicking back...

Three big games of college football... Michigan v. Michigan State / Notre Dame v. Pittsburgh / Miami v. FSU...

Crazy late-night fun playing Scattergories (no, "board leader" does not count!) and the Trivial Pursuit game that just would not die...

And roasting of marshmallows over an open fire on a brisk night...

We debated where the second annual "Hot Tub Time Machine Cabin Trip" should be: several votes for North Carolina, one or two for Maine, Michigan, Vermont, Myrtle Beach, Italy, Vegas, Stratford (Canada), Dubai... we dream big, baby, that's all I gotta say. It was really hard for the weekend to come to a close, but alas, we said our goodbyes and it's back to the city and back to real life. Until next year...
