Dear Lake LBJ,

I'd like to return the souvenir my skin decided to take over the 4th of July holiday. You see, it didn't really know what it was getting itself into, and would like to get a full refund on that burnt top layer of skin you sent it home with.

Regards,
Brittany

Somehow I made it a whole week in Cabo without burning, and then we head to Horseshoe Bay for a short weekend and I fry my top layer of skin off. I really tried, though. I started with SPF 4, quickly realized it wouldn't be enough and about 30 minutes in switched to 20 (I had 50 on my face all day, so my face is fine). I reapplied about 5 or 6 times throughout the day... but apparently I managed to forget to apply or reapply to my stomach. I guess I was just going through the motions -- legs, arms, chest, back, face.... check! Oops.

Anyways, despite the sunburn, we had a good time celebrating the 4th of July at a friend's lakehouse. As usual, good food was involved, along with a boat parade, and fireworks.

Here's a few pictures from our weekend...

watching the boat parade from the deck - in our festive, patriotic-ware.

The best boat-float in our humble opinion.

Watching the fireworks from the dock.

I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July!
