Last fall, me and three others decided it would be fun to get outta Chicago for the weekend and stay in a lake house for a more nature-y weekend, which I would always say is a good idea when presented the opportunity. We packed all our bags but more importantly, Dennis brought his good speakers. Oh, also just wanted to mention none of these photos are edited. I really appreciated the “real life” raw feel to them. The Leica M8 had such a nice color range, it makes the photo really feel like you captured a memory, not just a photo.

And the road trip begins!

Soooo we may or may not have originally wanted to go with like 15-20 people, so we basically had this huge place with like 10 different colored bedrooms lol.

It was a beautiful house. We got there late, so when we woke up we got to see a view of the lake! An immediate sense of peacefulness.

Yomi offered to make breakfast, which was SO good by the way.

Yomi also plays harp, which was the first time I think I’ve ever got to try playing a harp too.

Doing stuff like this was such a nice break from the busy day-to-day lives we live in Chicago. Plus it’s really nice to not get phone service once in a while.
