Day 2: Crater Lake

We woke up this morning after a restful night sleep in a glorious bed. We had a nice hot meal at our hotel and ran to target for a few odds and ends including hot dogs, buns, and marshmallows. We got on the road a little after noon and made it to the campground at Diamond Lake right around 3pm. As we turned onto the road into the campground we were greeted by gorgeous views. A mountain rose up on the other side of the lake and was covered with snow. We settled into our campsite took a quick tour (had a celebratory drink) and got back on the trail to Crater Lake. If you've never been, you have to go! It's gorgeous and peaceful. The lake is a mirror of the sky and the colors of the water and the rocks are so intense. There's also a ton of snow this time of year that had Tim and I giggling like children. I'll leave you with the pictures to tell the rest of the story.

Back at the campsite we got a rip-roarin' fire going and roasted some hot dogs. Gourmet smores are on the menu for dessert. If we don't we get eaten by mosquitos first.
