time is a gun and the bullets fly

its been an enjoyable week off of work.  i've spent a lot of time with friends, spent a lot of time outside, and spent a lot of time clearing my head.

tuesday i made a split second decision to take the borrowed stand up paddleboard my bike, and a cooler full of food to bear lake and make it a magical day.  at 7am it was already over 80 degrees at our house in ogden.  its been a bit brutal here.  as chris and i were having coffee and discussing the day i decided to load up the car and take a mini road trip.  it was just what i needed.  

chris helped me get everything loaded up.  we needed to back his truck out of the garage to get my bike out so the dogs went on a mini adventure too.  

part of the allure of the trip was the beautiful drive to get there.  i drove up over monte cristo.  only ran into these sweet bovines.  

this is my kind of traffic jam!!!

the entire drive is in the mountains and on two lane roads.  it was perfect.

ahhhh, the beach at bear lake.

you couldn't have slapped this smile off of my face it you had tried.  

after shakes and dinner this was the most perfect close to a day of fun, relaxing, sun, nature, great company, and just pure happy.
