Weekend daydreaming
The Apple Blossom Cottage is in Jamaica, Vermont. / photo via Airbnb
It's so nice here right now that it would be so nice to not be exactly here right now.
What we're trying to say is that Amelia's question earlier this week about weekend getaway trips got us daydreaming about wandering off somewhere for a few days to enjoy summer. So, as before, we went skimming through the Airbnb listings for weekend houses in places not too far afield from here.
Here are a few that caught our eye...
