Places to just get away and think, dream, or simply do absolutely nothing.....

A Place to relax, think, or simply walk around naked, well

maybe not naked....

Sometimes all of us have the most stressful weeks, we don't know how it happened but its usually due to some demanding client who simply is not satisfied, an old job that just wont get done, upcoming deadlines that seem almost impossible to meet, suppliers are not delivering materials to a large, written about project, or simply a combination of all of the above. How many of us simply want to just say hey I need some time off and just get away... I found this posting for weekend getaway homes and the designs they have. Very light earth toned, simply decorated and open to the elements, they are ideal to simply unwind, think, and get all our problems to vanish if not for good, at least for a weekend or even a week. But this will give us our much needed break from the everyday pressure of work, love, marriage, kids, or whatever that may be...

Enjoy these pictures I found that just by looking at them say to me Tranquility and peace of mind.
