The cabin in the woods

After Callan and Chirstina and I got back from our rained out camping trip with the crazy road, we chilled at their house for the rest of the day. The kids were exhausted after their punctured tire ordeal. I heated up something quick for dinner. Chirstina is a good cook and had been doing most of the cooking, so I was happy to chip in. Mainly I was happy we were all home safely.

We hung out and recuperated from our adventure. The kids play a cooperative computer game together that sounded interesting. When they play, they are each at their own computer and each have their own avatar, but they are in the same game together. They work together to overcome the challenges encountered in the game. It seemed like a bonding mutual hobby.

We all took it easy the next day too, just playing some cards and going on a walk. Chirstina did a little bit of green chili roasting and cooking baking too. Yum yum!

On Sunday morning John flew to Boise from Tucson. He helped the kids with some handyman household fix-it items on Sunday afternoon. John is by far the most handy person in my entire extended family. So he is always welcome to visit anytime!

On Monday morning John and I and Biska headed up north to the cabin we had rented for our anniversary. It did indeed look like the pictures on the website.

The downstairs section in the back wasn’t very useful space – you couldn’t get to it from inside the main part of the cabin. You had to go outside and around to get to it. There were just a couple of bunks and an old couch down there – probably perfect for teenagers. It wasn’t much use to us, but we were happy to discover a kayak down there.

Here’s the inside of the main part of the cabin on the upper floor.

There was a small kitchenette too, in that same room, along the left wall next to the front door. The upstairs was a small but perfectly functioning studio unit. It would not have been a good layout for more than one couple, but it was fine for us. And very private in a pretty area.
