I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that I took this trip with my friend. It was our first overnight/camp type festival and it was the perfect one!
My friend Mel and I went to High School together and then she moved on to NYC then off to Utah. She was supposed to be married this year and I was supposed to go to the wedding in Cabos. She cancelled and called me up asking if I wanted to go to a festival in September. Of course, I said yes! and so the prep & party began…

 |
| The view 🙂 |
It really was amazing. I have never been to a festival where people were so kind, so happy and so eclectic. The location, the set up, the art, the music, everything came together in a way that just made you want to take a second to sit down and appreciate what you were experiencing.

| the Swimbiosis area…there was a stage w/a DJ on land but it was loud enough to be heard right in the water with all the floaties! |
 |
| I could barely stay upright on my floatie and this guy was doing yoga poses on his paddleboard… |
 |
| The shower line….which I waited in for 30 minutes before they announced they were out of water until later… |

| Taking a nap! |

| If you need a moment to talk to God…there is a place for that. |

Honestly…I could go on and on but really this post is long enough. Just know that I had the best time and feel amazingly refreshed, focused and happy.
Soo awesome I am dying to go to a festival like that it's a different vibe but I love it.
