We spent last weekend up north in the Lake District. It is about 3.5 hours from our home, and we have been wanting to go for a long time! It is a beautiful place to hike and be outdoors, but we weren't really at the right time of year for that. It was really cold, but that didn't stop us too much. We stayed in Bowness-on-Windermere, a lovely town right on the edge of Lake Windermere, the biggest lake in the district.
The town was full of the cutest hotels, pubs, restaurants, and shops. I love places where you can walk wherever you are going. We ate the most delicious food and loved wandering around the cute town center.
One day we went on a boat ride all around the lake. We were the only ones on the boat, so the captain gave us a personal tour and told us all about the area while we went around. The view of the snowy hills in the distance was so beautiful! And thankfully, the ride wasn't as cold and windy as I'd anticipated!
The next day we visited Waterhead and Ambleside and made friends with lots of ducks. :) Everything was frosty and icy that morning, and our toes and fingers were freezing, but it was worth it!
The drive back home was beautiful! We stopped by the Preston temple on the way back to stretch our legs a little bit. We had such a wonderful weekend, we only wish we could have stayed longer! It was such a relaxing trip and we are so glad we were able to spend a few days there.
