We bought a Kayak!

A few years ago Adrian and I kayaked in the ocean in Peurto Rico and since then we've talked about getting one. Life gets in the way though and as we added new babies, a house, and another degree to the family, the kayak dream got pushed to the back burner. Until last week. 

Adrian and I were out and about and as we passed by the Lifetime store on the freeway, I remembered they were having some big sale. It didn't take much convincing to get Adrian to take a look and well, 30 minutes later we found ourselves with a boat! We got a great deal (of course- you know us!) and came away super excited. 

We got a babysitter and took the kayak out on a date tonight and had a fantastic time. The weather was gorgeous, the setting was quiet and it was so great being able to talk to each other without interruption. 

Neither of us have been out on the Great Salt Lake so it was a new experience. It was so calm and peaceful. The millions of birds we saw were fun to watch and I took about a thousand pictures. 

The water was NASTY but I didn't expect  any different. Then Adrian wanted to swim in it. Yeah that wasn't going to happen. He swam. I stayed in the boat and focused on not catching malaria. 

We were out on the water for a couple hours. It will be interesting to see if we're sore tomorrow. I can't wait to go out again!
