weekend retreats

I like getting away for the weekend. Even if it's not very far, just the change in environment feels very relaxing. It helps you forget about the bad stuff that lingers in the back of your mind, like bad work stuff.

I squeezed in another camping trip in August. It was a scorching 97 deg at Folsom Lake that weekend. The lake had jet ski rentals, boat rentals, and all sorts of floaty stuff. It's a very popular camp site, but the lake wasn't all that impressive. the sand was full of pebbles, and I think it was a man made lake because there were lots of concrete blocks surrounding the lake. It looked very industrial. None the less, we had our beer, lots of Kal-be and we chilled.

On our way back home we stopped by Folsom Premium Outlets, which was only 10 minutes from the lake and did some shopping. The whole purpose of camping was to get away from "city life" but I couldn't resist. I ended up finding a swim suit for only $15 at off Saks!
