C A M P H O W A R D

It occurred to me that this is the first post that I have made since the birth of N and since COVID hit the world. We have not taken any opportunities to travel for what seems like 2 years now. It probably sounds like we are privileged when I say it like that - though what I am trying to say is that it feels weird to not travel and see the world. We want that for N as he grows up too and while it has felt routine and safe to be at home, going through the same daily schedule every day, it's also important that we stretch ourselves and expand our horizons. Anyway, long story short, J decided that we should head out to this amazing accommodation near Leavenworth, WA for a short trip to take a break and celebrate my birthday. From the pictures, we could tell that the location would be amazing and the space even more so. We didn't do much when we got here except relax, stare out into the quiet of the mountains and the forest and just take a breather. It was much needed. The pictures below do not do this space justice. Camp Howard

T H E S P A C E As soon as we drove up to the backyard of Camp Howard and walked inside, a few design aspects of this space drew our attention first. The clean lines, the open space, the floor to ceiling windows and the use of high quality wood in its construction all stood out. The light flowed into this space so beautifully. Below are a few pictures of the parts of this space that we were most impressed with.

It wasn’t just the indoor space that was designed beautifully. The patio and the outdoor space was a wonder to behold as well. Luckily the sun had come out during 2/3rds of our trip so we could sit outside and enjoy some fresh air.

D E T A I L S A N D L I G H T There was something magical about this place and it is not just about the architecture. The reason this place has floor to ceiling windows is to take advantage of that magical mountain/forest light. I am not great at spotting artistic and creative crops/angles but this place was too good to not even give it a try. I mean, just look at the last few photos in this strip below - the light changes so beautifully throughout the day and it becomes absolutely mystical at golden hour.

O V E R A L L Would we want to come back here? Was there ever a doubt? ;) But book early because Camp Howard is very, very popular. Links above.
