Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) appears to be taking cues from her sibling Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) since she is leaving Mystic Falls too.

Over Easter weekend, Dobrev and many other stars of the hit CW supernatural series as well as members of the crew from the series were out on Lake Lanier in Georgia and Dobrev shared a lot of photos on her social media accounts.

The actress constantly used the hashtags, "#LakeLife" and ""#TVDFamily," as she shared photos of her TV series family as can be seen below in some of the photos.

It seemed as though she was just having an enjoyable Easter weekend with her costars, including Kat Graham (Bonnie on the series), Michael Trevino (Tyler on the series), among others.

It turns out their party on the lake was Dobrev's going away party. On Monday night, the starlet shared a photo of herself with the series creator Julie Plec.

Dearest TVD Family, I've just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party. I always knew I wanted Elena's story to be a six season adventure, and within those six years I got the journey of a lifetime. I was a human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much more to come before the season finale in May. Elena fell in love not once, but twice, with two epic soulmates, and I myself made some of the best friends I'll ever know and built an extended family I will love forever. There's more to come before we wrap this up, and I promise you'll get to hear all about my experiences over the next month as we approach the season finale (I have given an exclusive interview for the June issue of SELF Magazine that I am excited for you to see!), but until then I invite you to hop on the roller coaster ride that is Elena Gilbert's life and join me as I celebrate her and prepare to say goodbye to her -- and to my work family -- as I move on to the next chapter of my life. I want to share this goodbye with all of you (this weekend's pictures were just the beginning). You, the wonderful fandom who gave more love, support and passion than anyone could have ever imagined seven years ago, when a young Degrassi girl from Canada showed up in LA to audition for 'that Twilight TV show.' ;-) I love you all. Fasten your seatbelts. If you think you know what's coming, you don't. Love, Nina A photo posted by Nina Dobrev (@ninadobrev) on Apr 6, 2015 at 5:01pm PDT

"I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party," Dobrev said about their weekend on the lake.

The actress revealed that she "always knew" how long she wanted her character Elena's story to be; six seasons.

She called it "the journey of a lifetime," adding, "I was human, a vampire, a doppelganger, a crazy immortal, a doppelganger pretending to be human, a human pretending to be a doppelganger. I got kidnapped, killed, resurrected, tortured, cursed, body-snatched, was dead and undead, and there's still so much more to come before the season finale in May."

The actress noted how Elena found love twice "with two epic soulmates" and how she has "made some of the best friends" she'll probably ever know.

Dobrev promised TVD fans there is much more to come before the sixth season comes to a close and she'll be sharing plenty.

She also thanked the fans one last time as she reminisced on first showing up in Los Angeles "to audition for 'that Twilight TV show.'"

Plec tweeted the link to Dobrev's Instagram post and revealed "T'is true," but also released a statement, which Entertainment Weekly shared Monday night.

"Saying goodbye to Nina is both bittersweet and beautiful," Plec shared.
