Desert Sun Escape: Lake Havasu Winter Getaway

Trading Oregon's winter gray for Arizona's desert gold as Cole and TJ reunited with the 'old folks' who proved they could still party with the best of them! Lake Havasu's crystal waters became our playground while back home friends were still shoveling snow—a fact we mentioned in every gleeful text message alongside photos of our sunburned but happy faces. Days filled with boat adventures and hiking expeditions blended into evenings of competitive card games where age and wisdom frequently trumped youth and enthusiasm, much to the boys' chagrin. The generation gap disappeared completely over sunset happy hours where life stories flowed as freely as the margaritas.
