Trippin': Austin - Lake Travis

What in the world did I do for previous Labor Days? I have no clue. But whatever it was, this Labor Day was mos def the best Labor Day ever by far! A weekend in Austin, a lake house rental and good friends. We also made time to head out to Lake Travis for some water activities. We rented a pontoon and a wave runner and enjoyed some fun in the sun. I've been to Lake Travis on two other separate occasions and each time it's a different sort of fun. I wasn't able to try the Oasis yet again but next time I'm in Austin, I'm making a bee-line.

Everyone took a turn on the wave runner. If you look closely, I'm sporting my goggles on my head. I'm such a dork!

The soon to be married couple. I can't wait for the wedding! The bf is a groomsmen. The bf and I agree that they're the best dressed couple. They always seem so fresh looking, as if they simply just stepped out the pages of some catalog. The girl (my nickname for her is 2X) and I had some of the same under-grad classes and my friends and I would sit and gossip about her outfit. I love the way she dresses! She's got the most awesomest sense of style.

Some (un)synchronized swimming.

I braved the waters sans life-jacket.

But after 5 minutes of swimming and treading water, I was desperate for one. If you were in my position, you would be staring down that life jacket with equal intensity.

I was the unofficial camera gal. Voodoo was the unofficial video-cam guy.

We had the boat up until the sun began to set. It was such a glorious evening. Everyone had a great time.

Meet the bf, the love of my life. What makes him special? He prefers to wear the emergency life vest over the cooler looking life jackets. Haha!

He's a champion back floater.

My man. My hero. My Popeye.
