I know it’s not summer yet but that doesn’t stop me for dreaming about it! It’s the beginning of February which means the cold is starting to make me crazy and I’m dreaming about getting away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In doing so, I remembered that I took a fun little vacation with the family last summer and never shared it! Because of COVID, it was a tough decision to finally figure out what to do but I think it ended up being pretty memorable for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking up vacation rentals all over the world is a fun hobby of mine (see list towards the end of the post for ideas in MD\/VA) and so far I have only had good experiences. I found this particular one<\/a><\/span> on a whim and totally last minute. As you will see in the photos, the rental had everything we needed and more! We didn’t need to leave the premises for anything. This was the big selling factor for me since our visit was 2 nights and like 2.5 days total so we wanted to make the most of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Summer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was a very well decorated and clean farm house<\/a><\/span> located right on the Ware River in Virginia. There were a total of three properties on the land. One was the owner’s and two were their rental properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house came equiped with all the essentials like pots, pans, salt, pepper, sheets, towels etc. However, the BEST thing was that it also came with kayaks, a canoe and some floaties. There were even a few life jackets available but I did purchase some cheap ones off of amazon in case we needed more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used all of the water crafts to the fullest! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the land was huge for the kids to run around on. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, including a firepit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were seats and even a swing by the river and a dock where we enjoyed beautiful sunset views from. There is a tiny beach that the kiddos also enjoyed playing on. The only thing with that was, because of the tide height, the beach isn’t always visible. You’ll have to monitor the tide levels from a local website which the host will provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Preparation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking to do a similar type of quick weekend getaway in the summer (where you may not necessarily want to leave the rental), I have some food packing ideas for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know once you see the menu, you may think that is a lot of stuff to bring! Butttt since there were three households coming to this vacation, we all divided the foods between us so it wasn’t too much on just one person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
  1. Eggs<\/li>
  2. Bread<\/li>
  3. Milk<\/li>
  4. Tea bags<\/li>
  5. Croissants<\/li>
  6. Muffins<\/li>
  7. Avocados<\/li>
  8. Any extra seasonings <\/li>
  9. Sugar<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Having all these things enabled everyone to choose what they wanted to eat in the mornings. Some had avocado toast, others omelet (using some ingredients from the lunch and dinner preps), French toast, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lunch:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
