I apologize for being MIA - my last two weeks have put me in three states and a visitation trip to the hospital. CRAZY! On June 13, 2015, one of my best friends tied the knot to her now-hubby. However, as tradition goes, one must part-ay with her best girl friends before the big day.

Six of us girls each came from different states: West Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, and Oregon. Once arrived in the cutest airbnb in Oak Hill, WV, we hit the hay and prepared ourselves for the boat day ahead of us.

In our rented pontoon boat, we cruised around the man-made Summersville Lake. Summersville Lake was created as a reservoir for the Gad dam. Every ten years, they drain the lake in its entirety and you can take 4-wheeler tours in this huge dry crevice!

Our group of girls can certainly be classified as the outdoorsy bunch. Summersville Lake is surrounded by blown out rocks that are great for free climbing. Having never rock climbed, I took a seat behind the lens and watched as Erin, Haley, and her sister climbed higher and higher to the top of this huge cliff.

The lake served as our playground and offered gorgeous rocks, trees, green plants, and crystal clear lake water. I couldn't keep myself from praising God and marveling at his wonderful creation.

As the sun set, we cruised our boat back to the docks. Burrito bar was waiting for us at the top of the hill. YUM!
