I love Bear Lake! It is one of those places I can escape to. It is close enough to home that it doesn't cost a fortune to get to. It is also far enough away, that you feel like you are on vacation! We got to go in the middle of September. We stayed in a way nice condo. Our friends, Kip and Camille, stayed with us. We had a blast. Lexsie also visited... she lives in Logan now, so it wasn't a far drive for her! We played tennis and volleyball, went for walks, swam in the pool, and of course went boating. The water was FREEZING, because it was late in the season. We still surfed and wake boarded behind the boat. We would suffer more than cold water to have a good time!
