A little vacation in Osoyoos

We were so blessed to be able to take some time away this May long weekend to see the beautiful Osoyoos.  We were a little worried about the long drive out there with Nat, but she slept for a large portion of it... and it didn't feel all that long once we were driving. 

We got to the suite and were blown away by the view.  This is such a beautiful province we live in, and the sunset on the water was spectacular.  We were amazed every day looking out the patio... I coudn't help but take pictures of this every day.

The hotel we stayed at was amazing as well.  We got a one bedroom suite, so we had a kitchen (with a dishwasher), living room with a sofa bed, large bathroom (with laundry), and a king-sized bed.  It was a home away from home.  We were able to eat all our meals in our suite, without feeling closterphobic.  We had a small patio that overlooked the pool... just a fabulous place to go.

And the pool was a lot of fun for us.  We enjoyed the pool every day, even though it wasn't the warmest outside each day.  The pool was heated, and there were two hot tubs.  It was a neat experience sitting in the hot tub and overlooking the lake.  Nat hasn't spent much time in a pool, but she loved it.  Sure helps that her big sister is so willing to play with her in the pool.  Chelsea is a very patient big sister.

There was also a small private beach for the hotel residents, with a dock.  In the mornings we saw the bass swim up almost to shore.  They were so large.  This was Depak's favorite place to be... I think because he wanted to catch the fish and cook it.  Nat did not like getting sand in her shoes (she would stop every two feet to take the sand out), but she did enjoy playing in the sand.  I got to make sand castles for her, and then she'd smash them down.  Chelsea was content with just sitting and relaxing.

We didn't stress about doing a lot while we were there... just relaxing and hanging out.  It was great family time, and very relaxing, which was very needed after the busy season that we just finished... and the busy season we are about to enter with a new addition.  Here is a family pic from on the beach.
