Trinity Recap

After a whole week in the fresh mountain air I have retuned to the land of real life...and work, boo. We had a wonderful time per usual up at our cabin in the Trinity Alps. I look forward to it every year (and after the 30th mosquito bite I equally look forward to my return home!)

This year was especially special as it was P's first time in Trinity and oh did she love it! She experienced so many firsts, eating ice cream (major love), playing in the river, swimming in the lake...her first time in a bar. Ya know all the really important milestones :)

Let's let the photos do the talking...

Now it's back to real life oh vacation you always end too quickly...

Trinity Alps

You ever have one of those vacations where you just enjoy the moment and don't take any photos? That's pretty much what I did for a week straight and I am not even sad about it. We were supposed to take off for Trinity Alps on Saturday but decided that it would also be a good day to go car shopping. We have been beating around the bush for months now and finally pulled the trigger. Mama got a new ride and it's a beautiful brand new 4Runner.  #nocomplaints

So after we packed my new car up, properly named Betty White, we were off to the alps Sunday morning.

Crazy to think that next year I will have a 10 month old!! Hope you guys all had a great 4th!

Scenes from Trinity

I'm back from Trinity...which is quite a feat considering my incredibly awful hangover on Saturday that lasted into Sunday. Picture heavy post!

It was a hot one on our drive up! Temperatures topped out at 113 degrees on Tuesday and boy was it blazing! The ice cold Trinity river was calling my name and we couldn't wait to get up there. David had hiked in with a friend on Saturday so it was just me and my girl, Kerri for the drive up. 

Our home for the next four days. We like to call this glamping!

In Trinity everyone has a sleeping porch it's pretty awesome! Ours backs up the wilderness but David's parents cabin across the way backs up to the river. So peaceful and easy to fall asleep - when you're not thinking about bears!

It also makes for great snuggling!

Cousins!

Wednesday we had a rare thunder and lightening storm and it poured rain (for about 1/2 hour)! That was kind of exciting and the next day you would have no idea how bad it stormed!

On 4th of July we took the boat out on the lake which is always a good time. Only bummer was the lake was super low.

See where the water line should have been?

After a full day of boating we BBQ'd back at the cabins. 

We usually head up to Trinity with more of David's family but his brother and sister (and their husbands and wives) couldn't make it this year :( The day after the fourth we headed up to Cherry Flats where it took me about 45 minutes to jump from the rock! 

Since this was our last night at the cabin we went big and by big I mean hate your life on Saturday big.

Sunburnt and headed to a hangover!

My mother-in-law won the dart tourney!! So I was just celebrating extra hard for her!

This was a very rough departing day!!

 

Only 358 more days until we return!
