Moving on…
We had an awesomely awesome Fourth of July getaway at our family cabin in Hayward, Wisconsin. The four and a half days of sun, alcohol, food, family, fireworks, and laughs were much needed.
I even got to go fishing with my Dad and Husband and on the first day proceeded to catch the only fish worth catching; only to have my fishing line snap just as its bass lips reached the surface of the water. Husband obviously doubted my abilities and deemed my two-pound test line as adequate despite my protest that I would undoubtedly reel in the catch of the day. Oh well. Everyone has their own “one that got away” story, mine just happens to be about a fish.
All that time spent on the boat also led to another unfortunate incident.
::Back Story:: I am the fairest skinned girl you will ever cross paths with. I think it’s a combination of being from Minnesota, and the fact that I have a sun allergy wicked enough to confine me to a hotel room during my 11th grade spring break trip to the Bahamas. But that’s a whole other story.
Let’s do some math.
White meat + reflective lake sun + SPF 4 tanning lotion applied liberally + 4 hours on a boat = Burnin’ loins. Literally.
Exhibit A.
Yes, it was as painful as it looks, but not enough to ruin my vacation!
Katee- I too can relate with the sun allergy thing. I am very fair and if I'm in the sun without sunscreen for 20 minutes it seems as though I start getting a heat rash. It's terrible. I but a sunscreen with like 90 SPF..and so far it's worked. :) I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteNice to know that I am not the only one! At least our skin will look fabulous well into our golden years :)
