On the weekend of August 23, me and my parents took a little relaxing vacation to Cooks Forest, PA as a last hurrah before I started high school.  Due to my grandmother's stroke in June, my mother really deserved the getaway.  I didn't take too many photographs, but the few I did were rather picturesque.

Well, we started out in a dinky little room in a place called the Clarion River Lodge.  Beautiful location, but for $150?  I thought that room was a RIP-OFF.  Three people, one queen sized bed.  It was seriously tiny.  It even smelled bad.  Regardless, a pleasant little twist of fate came upon us in the form of a lodge worker.  She said that the kindly owner had seen that we were a family of three, so she upgraded us to a suite at the top of the mountain for the same price.  The drive up to the place was a bitch, but it was completely worth it.  We were hanging with the upper crust of the Clarion River society! 





This was suite livin' for my family.  Har-har.





The kitchen.  Look at all of those ghostly orbs - mysterious! 





The wall was an insanely pretty color.  It completely worked with the decor.  It was also a topic of discussion during the trip.





Lalala, what a nice place~ Lalal- WAIT! What's that, a balcony...?





*cue majestic orchestra swell*








What beautiful... trees...




The river was very low - too low to canoe, in my opinion.  So we floated instead.




All-in-all, it was a nice trip.  I'm more of an active, do-everything-possible vacationer, but it was nice to get away for a weekend.  It gave me too much time to think.  Hope you enjoyed!
