All day long just takin it easy

I love Lake Powell. My goal has been to have 1 powell trip a year and even though it was last minute, I was lucky enough to spend July 4th at Lake Powell. I barely knew anyone who was going but I had met 2 of the guys on the singles cruise this past Jan and one of the girls, Jodie, I have just gotten to know through mutual friends. There were 19 of us total and it was incredibly chill and had to be the most perfect powell trip I have ever been on. Everyone was chill and the weather was perfect, hot at night and cool in the evenings. Now I have a beautiful tan and a handful of new friends. I swear, lake powell is the best place in utah.
Jodie and I on the first day at the marina
1 of the speedboats we had and 2 of the girls out on the paddle boards. These were SO MUCH FUN!!! As soon as I have storage space I am getting me one of those
This is Kevin, the owner of the speed boat and one of the guys I met on the cruise

All the girls on the last day (well the last day for 5 of us, the others were lucky enough to stay until wed)

If you think you might come to California...i think you should

I was lucky enough to go home at the end of May to house sit while my parents were in Europe. Had a chance to catch up with some high school friends and my friend Lynsey came for about a week.

My huge obsession has to be Pinkberry, the best frozen yogurt I think I have ever had.

I even made it up to San Fran a few times. Doesnt this fruit look delicious?!
Peony's have to be one of my all time favorite flowers, Can you believe how beautiful these are?

On our last day we went to Santa Cruz to enjoy the sun and sand before heading back to utah (it snowed while I was gone)

Lynsey had never been to San Francisco so we went out to dinner, dancing, saw all the sites, and even managed to squeeze in a showing of Wicked. It was so fun, just wish we had had more time

I sure do love the Bay Area. It was the perfect mini vacation, minus puppy getting sick. Thanks for going out of town mom and dad! I will stay at Hotel Hammond anytime you are gone!
