I've been going to my parents cabin in Utah for most of my summers most of my life. Now that I have kids of my own, they kindly let us use the place for a week.
There are a lot of things “magical” about being up here, but one is the quality of sleep. I don't know what it is - maybe just the mountain air - but after a few days I feel this layer of exhaustion lift off me.
It's also wonderfully beautiful. As a kid/teen, it was like being in a Star Wars movie (driving through a Tatooine-like desert and then staying in an Endor-like forest.) It's no wonder that I did so much writing up here.
