Weekend Cottage Adventure - Thunder Beach - Georgian Bay

No matter where I travel I always seem to find myself traveling visiting the beach.  Doesn't matter if it is  lake, ocean or river, it has a calming effect on me.  Perhaps it is because I grew up sailing my summers away with my family.  No matter where I am in the world, if I find a beach or water, I feel like I am home.  I have visited beaches in California, Hawaii, Toronto, Vancouver, Japan and France and they are all unique and special in their own way.  

Thunder Beach on the Georgian Bay is one of the most secluded and serene beaches I have ever visited.  The water is crystal clear and the sand is smooth and free of rocks.  There were quite a few people out and about on Saturday, and all were friendly and as happy as me to be enjoying such a spectacular day in June!  

Sunday was cloudy, but it was still lovely sitting inside and enjoying freshly brewed coffee in the sunroom overlooking the water.  I hope one day to have a boat or cottage to get away to.  A place where I can escape from the every day monotony, clear my head and start the week afresh.   These times away are when I discover what is truly most important and where to focus my energy.  City life seems to race at a sometimes sickeningly fast pace and I find it crucial to take time to step back, and cheesy as it sounds, take time to smell the roses!  Don't ever forget to slow down and enjoy small successes and moments with friends and families.  Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!  I am off to Chicago and New York this week!  Will have a ton of great posts and adventures to share with you very very soon!
