Anniversary Road Trip: STOCKTON

Honeymoon 2.0 began with the long drive on the I-80 from Provo, UT to Stockton, CA. Otherwise known as "the most miserable city in the U.S." Otherwise known as "oh, you mean that city that went bankrupt?" Otherwise known as the home of the Robinson family. It's not that bad—at least on the Robinson side of town. From the things people say, you would think it was Gotham.

Getting ready to embark on our big trip.

We had a great time relaxing at the Robinson home and visiting with family, 

but the highlight of our stay was definitely taking the boat (the "Azure") out on the delta.
It was also the only thing I took pictures of. 

Jacob and Travis showed off their wake-boarding skills.

Jacob is pretty dang good at wake boarding! I had no idea. He looked so cool!

And then the moment I had been waiting for. They inflated THE TUBE.

AIR!

we look super intense in this pic. We were serious about keeping everyone on that tube! Don't surrender to the wake!

Papa Robinson doing his best to kick our butts.

I can't remember the last time I laughed and screamed so hard!!! Papa Robinson gave us quite the turbulent ride, and I got throwed three times. One of those times I made the mistake of freeing my hand to pick a wedgie right when we encountered a HUGE wake. Big mistake.

Man. We were sore for days after that, and I think I got a bruise from kicking Jacob as I was ejected from the tube. Eventually, we recovered. A few naps and back rubs later, we found the strength to continue on our journey.
