Every February I get sick. I know this because in high school the chorus had our favorite performance show in February and I would always be congested and sick for the rehearsals praying it would go away before the show. Well February is here (almost gone! but still here) and I am, naturally, sick. I actually thought I was going to sneak through the month without getting that stuffiness. I was feeling a little iffy on Valentine’s Day and it was a gradual and slow decline of my health from there. Flying back from Florida was miserable with the pressure!
I’m definitely on the mend, but still not 100%.
Maybe it’s the fact that I can’t breathe fully through my nose or the thin layer of tricky ice covering the sidewalks, but I’ve been dreaming of getting out of town. There are definitely trips I want to put on my bucket list (Paris is still there, of course, and Alaska has been recently added!), but I’ve been dreaming of just having a place to escape to for a whole month this summer.
It should be noted: This is totally just for fun! While it’d be amazing, we couldn’t actually swing it. (Plus, confession: I looked into it and a lot of rentals don’t allow dogs…)
A charming Nantucket cottage (available through HomeAway)
A lakefront cottage in Upstate New York (available with HomeAway)
A nautical cottage on the Cape (available with HomeAway)
A sweet little Newport cottage (available with HomeAway)
If you could live somewhere and escape for a month… where would you go?

These places look so lovely! I would want to go to a tiny beach town where everything is within walking distance and get a nice little house on the water. 🙂

We are fortunate to escape to Nantucket for July and August, we took the plunge on small condo/townhouse 3 years ago…best decision ever!

Somewhere near water definitely! A cute lake or beach house. It's awful too because taking a whole month off from work life seems completely not doable. Frizzles!
I'd love to live in CT for a while! I love the Northeast in the warm and cold weather 🙂

A summer getaway is such a whimsical dream! A family I nanny for escapes to an island cottage on a lavender farm each summer…such a dream right?!
It's so scary when people are sick in college, because we all live so close to each other! Oh gosh, a getaway like this looks so nice 🙂 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
All sweet little places! I find myself day dreaming and researching getaways a lot too… One day!

I think I'd do Maine for a month in the summer, or California for a month in the winter! I am craving warm weather for a get-away too! Thanks for sharing!
These are all so amazing! I agree with all of them or Russian River Valley in Sonoma….wide river for floating down, endless wineries, warm days!

Boston, Vancouver, or New Zealand!
Those cottages look lovely! I've been wanting to drive to California, when my life is in order I am going to try and take a weekend trip to the beach!

I am hoping to spend a few weeks in Santa Barbara this summer! If you haven't been, you must plan a trip ASAP!

My parents live 10 minutes from the beach in Rhode Island…only about 20 minutes from Newport. I can't wait to crash at their place for a couple weeks this summer and enjoy some beach time!
