We both agreed spending time reading good books; lounge chairs around the camp fire; eating S'mores without guilt; soaking in the hot springs pool; and just relaxing was on order this year. 
Taking potty walks with McKenzie was a delight. Even though it is the end of September, the gardens were spectacular.
I took this picture to show our campsite from across the river but the echinacea stole the scene.
Home on the river's edge. Not too bad.
The hot spring fed swim pool right on the river's edge.
The resort has many great examples of chainsaw art. 
Morning coffee and garden stroll.
