Lake Vacation Adventures

in life •  5 years ago  (edited)



This morning we were up at dawn to move the boat to another part of the lake. I have to say the experience of having my morning coffee while watching the sun come up over the mountains as we moved across the lake was pretty special. Quite a perfect way to start my day 🙂

I mean seriously, how can it get better then that? I’ll tell you... it can’t.

Also, for the record, sleeping on a house boat is amazing. It’s like a giant waterbed (you guys remember those right? right??) that just rocks you to sleep. That combined with the sound of the water as been lovely. I highly recommend it to everyone 🙂

After a lovely stroll around some of the lake, we arrived to a specific location we had in mind and then spent most of the morning on the jet skis.. where I won multiple races 😛

Once I had enough excitement for the day, I decided I needed to soak up some sun.. as if I don’t get a tan soon they are going to kick me out of California.

so literally this was my view most of the day...

And it was flipping fabulous!

After a cloudy day yesterday my pale skin welcomed the sun with open arms.

And I even remembered that I promised selfies.. and with enough cocktails in my system, I tried to deliver...

And then I realized I’m extremely awkward and can’t seem to figure out selfies 😄 how do you people do this?

Ok.. well look, this is the most normal face I can make...

love when the hdr on my phone kicks in.. everything looks so bright. And look!!! I am getting tan!

Annnnddd that’s enough of my face!

It was amazing just having a day of laying around in the sun, mixed with jet skis, tubes and water slides.

Then as the sun began to set, all the boats started to gather to find prime spots ...

Prime spots for what? Oh.. yes..

But I think I shall give them their own post, as I haven’t went through all the shots I took, as well as the multiple videos.

So come back tomorrow for that 😉


Thanks for listening to my vacation ramblings! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.

Much Love,

Justine

Ugh this all looks horribly, you must hate your lake holidays :-/

It’s like torture 🙂 I’m not even sure how I’m surviving at this point... I may need more sunshine and cocktails to get through it today.

wish you were here 😘

Oh what a wonderful vacation you/me is having...Just so enjoyable...Coffee with that vista filling your/my vision and you/me winning those jet ski races...Just splendid. I can't wait to see those fireworks with you/me.

Vicarious vacations are such a joy. 😋

Full disclosure: My vacation is not really as good as yours is...I mean it's good but I think your vacation is just that little bit better than mine...Just a smidge. 🤔😉

Enjoy Justine(h) 😜

I’m glad our vacation is going so well for both of us! 😜 it really is wonderful...

Are your butt muscles as sore as mine? Because I have to say all that jet skiing has me sore as heck. Seems 50mph over waves all day works muscles you didn’t know it would. Or do your butt muscles already get quite a bit of workout already so you are good to go?

Hmmmm how do we fix your vacation? 🤔 maybe drink more? Splash yourself with some water? I’m sure we can think of something...

🤣 Buns of steel over here...But I'll admit to a little soreness. I'll go pour a glass of water over my head...That'll fix my vacation. ☺️

Glad you're having a good time though.

Personally I would enjoy a real time Moscow mule count. Please tell me you’re at least 3 deep at this hour?

Hahahahaha I may have to include that in the next one. Well you will be glad to hear that I was “3 deep” by noon today.. took a mid afternoon nap and then may or may not had a few more after dinner 😜 thankfully no inappropriate DMs were sent, yet.

And now the waves are calmly rocking me to sleep like a baby 😴

Very jealous. It’s winter down here, and my nervous system is screaming out to just chill in the solitude of the middle of a lake in the sun.

Where is that? It looks amazing!

Ugh I hate that time in winter where your body is just done and craving for sun. sending warm vibes your way!

It’s central California. It’s pretty beautiful and the weather has been great so far! ❤️

Cheers!

Thank you for this wonderful article! Wishing I can take a nice stroll down by the lake too but I'm commenting and doing some Steem stuff from my office now. :D

I've also shared your post in the Steem Malaysia Community Page on Facebook, hoping to give you the extra exposure because of its good content.

I hope by doing this, more content creators/bloggers/vloggers will get to know this wonderful platform we both thrive in. :)

Keep creating awesome content!

I’m sorry you’re stuck in the office though 😕 I hope you are having a good day regardless!
