This weekend signals the start of our pilgrimage back and forth to the cabin. Opening and closing weekends are the more arduous ones due to the amount of stuff we seem to lug back and forth. Invariably, I’ll think of something I’ve forgotten, usually once we’re on the ferry.

In an effort to be more organized this year, I’ve created a check list - which I will be posting on the side of this page. Hopefully this will help me, and maybe you, get it all together and to the cottage.

Cottage CheckList:

• Assured Loading Pass for the ferry/ferry schedule
• DVD Player
• Cell Phone Charger
• Camera
• Kid’s activity bag (crayons, animal activity books, cards)
• Sunblock
• Bedding/Laundry

Have I got everything? I won’t likely remember until tomorrow morning when I’m sitting on the ferry, but as long as it’s not one of the kids or Daisy, we’ll be just fine.
