Lake Geneva Vacation Recap!

Over the July 4th week and weekend I took a trip out with my boyfriend and some of his family to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin! Now you're probably thinking Wisconsin.... what's there? Why go there? I was thinking the same thing! Until Eric convinced me with all the activities we had planned and who was going to be there. It was mostly his cousins who are a little older than us and who are a bunch of fun!! I met and hung out with them all over Christmas break and we had a blast!

Now road trips and I don't get along. I absolute despise long car rides! Anything over 3 hours? No thank you!! Plane tickets were over $500 and since we had 5 people to ride with I decided it would not be too bad. The ride was about 14 hours and honestly it was not THAT bad. I was so relieved!

Most of it looked like this though.. pretty boring!

 Driving through Chicago...

To get to this beautiful place!!! Man I loved it there. So peaceful and relaxing. The temperatures were in the records at that time... hitting almost 105 degrees!!! The water was definitely my place of choice.

Me and the babes!

One of the first days we went tubing! I haven't done this in probably 10 years!

Did I mention how beautiful this place was?!


We went out on a night adventure to Summerfest in Milwaukee! It was nice and cool near the lake!

 Yummm! It was fun seeing live artists and walking around. We also had delicious food!

We went wake boarding one of the days and let me just say that water sports are not my calling!! I was really good at the getting up and holding on part, but terrible at balancing myself. I would always lean too far back or forward. It was a blast though and that's all that matters! And, it looked like I had a good time ;)

Looking like a champ here even though that definitely wasn't the case ;)

There were some SICK houses on the lake! My new dream is to buy a lake house when I am rich ;)

This is supposed to be a replica of Jefferson's house, BUT even BIGGER!!! I wonder what these people do with them...


Look at this place!!!!!!!!!

Some of the houses weren't as big and were just absolutely gorgeous! I loved all of the landscaping and just want to move there and sit in the sun for eternity! Ah how I wish I could go back!

It was a great vacation! It was kinda quick, but we got to spend a lot of time outside doing activities and eating away!! I definitely need to spend more time on lakes around the world!
