So we took our first trip as a couple (and my first trip) to the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area last week and it was so fun! We went with Adam's dad, sister and her boyfriend and it was a great time had by all! We took one day trip that looped into a few different lakes, did lots of fishing, cooking/eating, reading, swimming and laughing! Our campsite was on the edge of Lake Four and we started at Lake One. We had perfect weather up until our last day when we had to canoe back. Another highlight was getting Harley in the water (and canoe, which he didn't tip!) and seeing him swim. He started out pretty wimpy just swimming and clinging to us like a child, but the more brave he got, he started to swim out to fetch sticks over and over! The only parts I did not care for were the greasy hair from not being able to shower (gross!) and the swarm of mosquitos that hung out at our campsite every night and forced us to walk around with head nets on! Overall, the trip was beautiful, relaxing and a great break from our busy lives and we cannot wait to go back again next year!
