Bear Lake!

This weekend we decided to make a short trip up to Bear Lake! A first time journey that we plan to make once again in the summer. No skies or snowmobiles followed behind us up Logan Canyon, however the breathtaking scenery and relaxation from work and stress was enough to enjoy for the day. A few stores and restaurants were open for the winter. Unfortunately the ones that claimed to have the world's best raspberry shakes were closed...WHAT???? Well, we did get to have one at a local pizza place. We were able to check out the small town of Garden City and get some ideas from locals on what to do when we return for the summer.

We even ended up in Idaho for about 5 minutes and we didn't even stop to get a lottery ticket. We could be millionaires right now!


The view of Bear Lake however, was breathtaking from the pier. A bit chilly this time of year but the water was that talked about famous turquoise color. We can't wait to return for the summer and enjoy some sorely missed California sandy beach similarities.



According to folklore, Bear Lake holds a lake monster. Has anyone ever seen this Bear Lake monster? To bad it's a made up story because I'm positive I saw something out there!


Thank goodness for indoor pools!


The trip back home was long but the scenery was amazing driving back down Logan Canyon. It reminded me of how much I really enjoy Utah and all the outdoor activities we need to take advantage of...like hiking, camping, visiting hot springs, touring caves and so much more! I've brought out my summer to do list from last year and hope to check off a few more activities this summer and possibly add more!


We made a quick stop at the Logan Temple which was a first sight for me.


What a wonderful weekend to kick start our 12th anniversary!
