Over the summer, my family and I took a trip to Lake Havasu located in Lake Havasu City in Arizona. My Uncle Dave booked us an AirbNb right on the water for my sister’s birthday, and she was so excited. My uncle has two jet skis, and my dad’s friend has a boat. We packed up all of our stuff, and hit the road to head out to Arizona.

The first night we got there we head out onto the Lake after checking into our condo, and went tubing. My dad’s friend, named Mike, whipped us so hard and fast that we flew off the raft and smacked onto the water harder than I could have ever imagined. At night we hung out by the shore with family and friends, and ordered pizza to eat on the boat.

The second day we got out onto the water early, and ended up taking a boat ride over to a restaurant on the water. I forget the name of it, but they had the best pasta ever. It was really fun being able to spend time with family that we don’t get to see all the time, and just enjoy lunch together. Later on during the day a huge storm hit, and the drive back was completely dreadful. The seadoos were sinking and the boat continued to nosedive and flood with water. We finally made it back safe and definitely had a interesting story to tell after.

On our last day, my sister’s birthday, we headed over to a place called Crystal Cove. They have a restaurant and like a little resort and camping options. My Uncle let my sister and I drive the seadoos, and let me tell you they are a fun time. If you haven’t ever road a seadoo I definitely recommend it being something you try sooner than later. On the way back we got the skis into the water, and I got up my first time. Water skiing is super fun, and has always been something I enjoy doing. I tried to wakeboard, but was never able to get up on it.

Overall the trip was a lot of fun surrounded by friends and family. If you have yet to take a trip out to Lake Havasu I definitely recommend taking the time to do so. The weather and water is perfect for the summer, and the amount of things to do there is endless. It’s the perfect place for a vacation or weekend getaway for those of all ages!
