Outdoors on Vacation

I recently vacationed to three different states; California, Nevada, and Utah. Each offered me different outdoor experiences. For the first part of my vacation I was in Los Angeles and spent most of my time around the beaches. In Redondo, Hermosa, Venice, and the Santa Monica Pier I walked and walked for hours taking in the scenery and getting an appetite. Delicious food! My next stop was Las Vegas, well its safe to say I did some more walking up and down the strip and in the shops. I didn't know vacations could be so tiring but it was nice. My boyfriend and I did hide in the hotels for a little bit to gamble but we'd rather take in the weather, scenery, and smells of the outdoors. After Vegas we drove to St. George and you would think I'd be tired of walking well I was so I went for a run. This town is so small and beautiful I did my usual 3-mile run and viewed some of the best parts of the town in less than half an hour. I can say that is one of my favorite runs ever because it was scenery I had never seen before and I ran up and down hills next to beautiful red rock. Definetly an unforgetable experience.

Summer Days

I love the summer. So far I've kept busy going to the lake for instance this last weekend I spent it with my family and friends playing softball, getting our feet wet, and enjoying some good quality time together. I saw so many people doing the same which is great. They were swimming, cooking some food, and just enjoying the really hot day. According to a friend he said a solar flare exploded or something so it was extra hot that day. That didn't stop my friends and I from leaving the nicely airconditioned homes we live in. Now I really don't like swimming at the lake because I personally don't trust it. So after we were kicked out my friends and I went over to a friends house to enjoy a nice dip in the pool. Thats whats so great about the summer the weather lets me enjoy what I like best; water. I love being around water especially lakes and rivers for several reasons; they keep you cool in the summer, make for nice photo opps, and they are great sources for exercise when swimming or kayaking. I guarantee I will not be bored this summer. I make it a point to get outside and stay active. I believe I haven't watched TV in a while. I'm not too fond of the winter or cooler months of the year so as soon as it gets warm I'm off my hibernation mode and go outside as much as possible. When I'm at work I can't wait to get off and go for a run. My tan is looking great!
