travel:: mount tateshina

hi darlings, what were you up to last weekends? we went on a lovely long drive with our friends in the most luxurious van!! when jen suggested to head up to their parents' country home in mount tateshina for the weekend,  i couldn't say no!! plus who doesn't love roadtrips...


when it involves such beautiful snowscapes??


so romantic... 

and are you ready to drool over the cutest little japanese cottage ever??


all ours for the weekend!


rachel & suman enjoying a tete-a-tete in front of the fire!


 every vacation starts with one of these pictures of me trying to help musashi break into his new pen. he is weird with new environments but once he warms up to the idea, he loved it! he was darting in and out of the pen by the end of the weekend like it's his! that's silly one..


lol best ice bucket ever!

i snuck some tips on how to make awesome shabu shabu...


hmm delish melt in your mouth meat...


muu was more excited about our freshly toasted s'mores!


after dinner, we retired to the cutest loft bedroom with blue wallpaper! it was so darling i wished i took a picture before it got dark.. but i had such a fabulous time there i generously invited everyone to our country home to hang out!! only to be reminded by the mister that urm.. we don't own one and last he checked, we were still working on our proper home in the city first!! 

ah.. little unimportant details! 

would you love a little getaway home in the future? 
if so, where??

  3. Aww, what a lovely little getaway!! The cottage is so cute! And it looks so "home" like. :D Looks like Muu adjusted well too!

    Shabu! Yummy for the tummy during the cold weather. ^^

    I would love to visit a place like this! Some where away from the city and amongst nature. That's where I'd love to go. :]
