Super fun anniversary weekend! We went back to the Third Pillar of Dana, the climb where we got engaged. After that we went stand-up paddleboarding on some new-to-us lakes on the east side, running away from thunderstorms and cold wind at the higher elevations. SUP'ing is a blast when I'm not scared of sharks and lake monsters! :)
