It has been a long standing tradition in the Perkins family to have an annual camping trip up at Trinity Lake. I had only heard stories about this wonderful place and all the fun they would have. I couldn't wait to be part of such a special tradition.
Tyson and I started our adventure early Wednesday morning, driving up the coast.... it was all fun and games till it was about 100 degrees and we were surrounded by nothing but dirt farms. I knew the end was in sight. A few hours later we hit Redding, Ca and then Trinity lake was at our fingertips. When we arrived, the whole Perkins gang was already there, tents up and everything! Everyone was down enjoying the beautiful lake so we started to unload our camping loot.
Tyson's family rented a ski boat for a few days, which was a superbly brilliant idea.... we got to go inter-tubing, wake boarding, water skiing, and just crusin around the lake. The weather was very warm and dry.... highs around 102 and lows at night in the 50's. Our evenings consisted of game playing, dinner making and chatting, along with plenty of laughs and smores! After 8 days of camping, we came home with a ton of new memories and cant wait to continue the tradition next year!!! Thank you Perkins for letting me be a part of such a wonderful trip and AMAZING family! I <3 you guys!
