Nothing on the Calendar

One place, one week, and very little planned.

A week at the lake — A dock, a swim before breakfast, and six days where the only decision is whether to get the canoe out. (7 days, Finger Lakes, New York)
Hot springs and long mornings — Outdoor pools fed by the river, a town small enough to walk, and nobody rushing you out of the water. (6 days, Colorado)
The coast out of season — The same beach, half the people, and a house with a kitchen. Sweaters instead of sunscreen. (7 days, Outer Banks, North Carolina)
A cabin with no signal — One lake, one cabin, no bars on anyone's phone. The kids find something to do by the second afternoon. (7 days, Adirondacks, New York)
A week at farm pace — Chores at seven, breakfast after, and a whole day that follows from there. Children are useful here. (6 days, Vermont)
Island time, no cars — No cars are allowed on the island at all. You arrive by ferry and everything after that is on foot or by bike. (5 days, Mackinac Island, Michigan)
Lazy weeks on the Algarve — Build sandcastles beneath golden cliffs and wander through quiet whitewashed fishing villages. Relax at Praia da Luz. (8 days, Algarve, Portugal)
