A little bit about Lisette.....

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I feel most alive surrounded by trees and breathing in the fresh mountain air.

When I am not working you will most likely find me spending time outdoors, volunteering with my church and exploring this beautiful planet with my family. 

This is my place to share my passion for life and to encourage you to take time to find the extraordinary in your life.

The perfect weekend getaway: Alderbrook

In honor of our wedding anniversary and Cameron's first Father's Day we spent a lovely weekend at Alderbrook on the Hood Canal. We had never been here before and it was the perfect combination of relaxation and fun. We kayaked along the Hood canal picking out which home we would want to escape to, spent our evenings watching the sunset, hiked through mossy woodlands and enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors. Even though the resort was at capacity, it never felt overcrowded or too busy.

Do you have a favorite weekend getaway or go to spot which makes you feel rejuvenated?

After a very busy Friday, we hopped on a late afternoon ferry and within a hour we were in the solitude of Alderbrook Resort.

The entrance to the lobby

Love this sign!!

A perfectly still evening on the water

There were many different boats big and small to choose from to rent.

Also, there were many water sports available like SUP, kayaking and water bikes.

Although we don't drink alcohol, we thoroughly enjoyed our potato chips at happy hour.

Highlights of the lobby were the two sided fireplace and ample seating.

The dock at Alderbrook

Sunshine and glass like reflections, made for a fantastic evening!

Like two little kids, hunched over the dock waiting to see if we could spot jelly fish.

Feeling full and happy after our anniversary dinner.
