Manning Park weekend

On the weekend, we headed out of the city for a relaxing weekend with a few friends. We stayed in a log cabin in EC Manning Provincial Park ("Manning Park"), BC, which is 2.5 hours east of Vancouver.

Heading into the mountains on Friday evening...


The cabin is owned by a workmate of Angharad's (our first visit there was last Canadian Thanksgiving), and is surrounded by mountains covered in tall pine trees and poplars. A beautiful setting!


There were only six of us, and we had a wonderfully relaxing weekend... reading books, playing games, singing, going for walks, cooking up delicious meals, doing Tim Tam Slams, and generally having a very nice time indeed!

Breakfast on Saturday (L-R: Angharad, Juanita, Heidi, Hod, Ben)...

Angharad, thanks so much for organising it. We're already looking forward to the next Manning Park getaway!

Whenever one of us finds a new blog entry, we shout at each other, THERE'S A NEW BLOG. The Manning Park weekend sounds awesome. My dream home is a cabin among the pine trees in the mountains. Naturally I'm jealous.

Ditto to Alaina's comment! So green...so rustic...so "wish I was there!"
