SNAPSHOTS FROM LAKE BERRYESSA

 

The first stop on our trip up north was camping at Lake Berryessa. It was cold and rainy the first day, but it made our campfire all the more cozy. We had an entire peninsula to ourselves {the best campsite in my opinion} which was absolute heaven. It was almost as if we had the lake to ourselves. The next day we woke up to sunny skies and spent most of the day lounging and floating in the lake. I got in once, but I'm a total wimp when it comes to cold water and happily read my book on the shore. I don't think I'll become an avid camper anytime soon, but I really enjoyed being surrounded by such beauty and sweet friends.

Tomorrow we are headed to Lake Berryessa to camp for the weekend with friends. I promise to take lots of photos as always, but I assure you our camping trip won't be nearly as chic as the photos above. Have you heard of Shelter Co.? They come to your campsite and set up a luxury lodging experience, complete with real beds, down comforters and Pendleton blankets. You can even have them add on an outdoor movie theater, catering or showers. Sounds pretty amazing right? I guess I'll have to except our borrowed tent and blow-up mattress.

James and I are going camping in Napa one week from today. It's his best friend's birthday and we're celebrating by camping on a lake with almost forty people. To be honest, I'm not much of a camper. I'm no stranger to it, since I went to a hippie school for twelve years where camping and hiking were part of the curriculum. But I much prefer the niceties of running water, comfy beds and of course bathrooms. However, I'm very excited for this trip and I'm ready to bring out my inner outdoorswoman.
