It was my birthday last week and it’s become something of a tradition for a group of us to drive up to Lake Berryessa and rent a boat for the day. It’s always beautifully warm and sunny up there and the lake itself is cool but just nice for swimming in on a hot day.

Since there’s always a bunch of us we rent out a large patio boat, complete with gas barbecue, sunbathing deck and slide! We always get there around lunchtime and bring meats to grill and snacks to munch, all in all making for a very fun and relaxed day.
