Ok, so I know that it's fall and therefore chillier than summer and people probably aren't thinking about hanging out in bikinis/swim gear out on a lake in Montana (Flathead Lake, apparently)...but this photo was just too cool to not share! It almost doesn't even look like she's in water...amazing. I want to be there. (Even though lately I've just been dreaming about finally going skiing this winter, which is something I say every winter since I moved to New York 4 years ago...but this time, I mean it! I swear!) 

I love to travel; I think it was instilled in me by my parents. My first trip anywhere was when I was about 3 to Brazil. Brazil! My parents don't kid around. I even remember some of it; it must have been such a shock to my system after only knowing California for my whole life up until that point. My dad especially loves planning trips, and we took some pretty cool family trips as I was growing up. Needless to say, I'm very grateful!

Yesterday a friend and I were chatting about travel for 2013 and the only trip I've got in mind so far is San Francisco in the beginning of the year. Last night I was chatting to another friend about her upcoming move to Paris, plus I still owe my British friends a visit, so maybe I'll do that too at some point, and Crys and I both said we should meet up somewhere fun next year, probably somewhere warm and tropical!

Have you got any upcoming trips planned? Where are you looking forward to going next?
