A couple years ago some pals and I jumped on a plane to Hot Springs, Arkansas where we spent several days dipping our toes in the water and sipping on cold beers. We didn't get our things together enough to go last year, but when my friend made the offer this year, we had to take it.

This time wasn't too different. We spent our days riding the speedboat out to our own 'private' island and running into town for the necessary supplies; beer, bbq, and of course my favorite - dill potato chips. The highlight of the day was soaking up the sun and floating around in the open cool lake. The water is so clean and clear. I am always amazed how Lake Ouachita doesn't have any lake-y smells or trash. It's such a well maintained piece of paradise.

The whole time we were there the sunsets were spectacular! The colors ranged from bright burnt orange to deep sapphire blues. It was so gorgeous and visually stunning. The nights were warm and not too humid which we felt extremely lucky to experience.Before the sun went down we would prepare a fire and play some yard games, which I was definitely ready for. Then once the sun set we'd hop back on the speed boat and cruise on home to crash and do it all over again.

I hope you had a great 4th of july weekend too! I've been super slammed at work so I've been a little MIA from the blog these days, but I'm hoping that will resolve itself very soon ;)
