Summers by the Lake

Gifted Berman Headband, Coach Sunglasses, Planet Blue Arm Bangle, Souvenir Shop Bracelets, Gifted Wren Jumper, Steve Madden Sandals

I wouldn’t exactly call myself a spontaneous person.  There’s something about the long, lazy days of summer though, that beg for random day trips to places you’ve never been.  Since the temperatures were in the upper 90′s, we packed up the car and headed to Arrowhead Lake, where we were met with a cool breeze and clean air.  We ate right along the water, spent far too much time in the souvenir shop and stocked up on homemade fudge for the ride back to the city.

54 Lemon Drop Love { 08.23.10 at 6:43 am }

That is one of the best parts of living in California that I miss. You can change your surroundings on a wim and end up having the exact day you wanted for nothing more than a fun, realtively short road trip.

Glad you had fun :)

Emily,
At first I thought the pattern on your romper was so cute, then I looked closer and saw it said “blah.” Love it!! Getting away for day trips is so fun! I love that it is a great mental break from the routine, yet you get to sleep in your own bed at night. I often take trips to Carmel and Monterrey like this.

You are simply adorable. I’m not very spontaneous either, but there is something about summer that makes me want to just get away for a few days with no worries or attachments!

83 Amalina { 08.23.10 at 9:14 am }

Aw that seems like so much fun, when you live in a bustling city it’s always good to get away and take in some nature!
