4th of July Getaway Recap

July 7, 2014

Long weekends are the perfect time to escape the city and relax. This past weekend, along with 13 friends, a baby and a dog we headed up to Prattsville, NY for a weekend in the mountains. Main actives included a variety of lawn/drinking games, lots of grilling, hilly runs, catching up with friends, taking in the views and lounging around.

The house, the views, and the grilling did not dissapoint.

I got to spend some quality time with the cutest baby around, see above for baby’s first photo bomb.

I tried out a new sangria recipe, Watermelon Mint Sangria. Will post the recipe tomorrow with more photos.

Downtime included hanging by the fire, lighting off fireworks (or in my case, watching as braver people set them off), sparklers and s’mores.

Our house was located at the top of a mountain which made for some seriously challenging runs (much needed during a weekend of indulgences). 

Now it’s Monday and I’m back at work but the long and relaxing weekend has me feeling quite refreshed. Hope you had an awesome 4th of July as well!
