Happy Wednesday, everyone! As I alluded to in Monday�s post, we were on beautiful Lake Shasta with family all weekend, and oh what a wonderful memory it will always be. The lake was absolutely pristine and gorgeous� smooth, sea green, and glittering water surrounded by beautiful pine forests and mountains. It was cool in the mornings and warmed up to the 90�s during the day� perfect for laying out on the top deck of the houseboat, floating along in a tube on the lake, or almost dying on a jet ski riding on a jet ski with your husband who likes to purposely go too fast and jump waves and almost give his wife a heart attack. Not that that happened.
The funny thing about vacation is that it�s almost always a little bit stressful. Traveling itself is kind of awful most of the time, what with the mouth breathers who didn�t brush their teeth that morning sitting right beside you on the plane, or the kid kicking you in the back every two minutes for hours at a time, or the flight delays and other things. I think Matthew and I have yet to take a trip during which we didn�t want to murder each other at one point or another, or from which we came home saying �ahhh� I feel more relaxed and stress free than ever before.� But that�s not really always the point, is it? It�s an absolute privilege to spend time with each other and family, making memories and seeing beautiful places on this Earth you might have never seen before. The ability to travel is, I think, one of the #1 things that drives me and my husband to succeed in our respective endeavors. What a beautiful world we live in, and what a shame it would be to not really see it.
Anyway, enough of my rambling for now. Here are a few more photos from the trip� more coming tomorrow!
The before� as I told Matthew I didn�t want to get my hair wet�
The after�
Sorry to blind you with my whiteness in that last picture. And FYI, that whiteness is now redness. Ouch. Check back tomorrow for more fun photos at the lake. :)
