Our Day Trip

 Yesterday Andy and I took a day trip up to McCall after church to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. Our anniversary isn't for a month but Andy will be working in New Mexico next month and we wanted to be sure we did something to celebrate. And we did, it was perfect! I can tell you that I never imagined getting married in the winter because I had always dreamed of an outside summer wedding but God had different plans for my life. I am so glad I trusted Him because one thing I enjoy the most year after year is taking trips up to the mountains and enjoying the beauty He created.

 

We walked around the beach area first and took in all the scenery. We practically had McCall to ourselves, we only saw a few people here and there. It was quiet, peaceful, and just what we needed! We shopped a few of the local stores but the best part was when Andy found a ski jacket for $1,000. We could not believe there was such a thing. It was a nice jacket, we both really liked it but not for that price! Then we drove to Paradise Burger, it was amazing! I highly recommend to anyone driving through McCall. I am craving it now as we speak.

On our way back home we stopped at Gold Fork Hot Springs and took a dip for a few minutes. On the way there I made Andy stop the truck so I could capture this picture. It was just so beautiful EVERYWHERE!

It was freezing outside but after we left the hot springs we were warm the rest of the night! That concludes most of our trip. We enjoyed listening to some older CD's we had of Bob Caldwell preaching while we were in the car. I think that listening to God's word and being alone with my husband might have been one of the highlights from the day. I love the man I married 4 years and 11 months ago. It has brought many years of happiness already! It's not about the destination, it's about enjoying the ride along the way!
