I had the pleasure of a girl’s weekend with my bestie, Rachel! Last year we rented an Airbnb on the water in Shelton (very remote, very peaceful). This year we rented a place on Lake Steilacoom in Lakewood, Washington. It’s between Olympia and Tacoma. I’ve honestly never been–I’ve just seen signs off the freeway. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The place we rented was the basement apartment of a house right on the lake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I arrived a little before Rachel on Friday afternoon and after unpacking, I sat outside in the sun and read my book next to the lake. It was peaceful and quiet and beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When Rachel arrived we got some food at the nearby Trader Joe’s and then cooked dinner while catching up. We made goat cheese ravioli topped with Autumn Pumpkin Alfredo sauce–sounds a bit weird but it was tasty! Not too overpowering in either direction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We drank wine, we talked late into the night, we ate the homemade popcorn the owners gave us and then went in the hot tub. It was a really nice, relaxing evening!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Saturday we both slept in (amazing!) had breakfast and lots of coffee:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then I went for a run. The place we rented was right on the water and the neighborhood was very nice, but the streets were narrow and windy and not safe to run on. I asked the owner if there was any where I could go and she recommended Fort Steilacoom Park.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently it’s a nice place for all kinds of activities and when I showed up there were tons of people doing stuff. There was some kind of event going on, then there was a soccer tournament and there was a huge dog park area, which looked cool.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
