After 24 years of living in Michigan, I’ve finally partaken in a common summer activity that most Michigan folk seem to do every summer: tubing! I met up with my friend Kristen, her Danish fiance, Rene and her friend Dan that I haven’t seen in years.
As much I’d like to pretend I’m not prissy, I suppose I am just a bit. It doesn’t bother me when I get sweaty, dirty and not showering every day. Yet, I don’t like to touch the bottoms of rivers with my bare feet or submerge myself in murky river water. Eek! This activity was definitely a stretch from what I would normally do, but it was relaxing to catch up with my friends while floating down the river with a beer in my hand and freely peeing whenever I needed to.

Rene and Kristen! This pair is so cute. They met each other when Kristen moved to Florida and now they’re moving by the end of the month to Copenhagen for the next couple years.

I love tubing! We like to pack a cooler with its own tube and fill it with beer and snacks.
Also, been loving/following your blog silently for a while…I'd love you to check mine out sometime.

This sounds fun but I'm the same! I'm not a priss but I'm not at all keen on murky, dirty rivers.
Your outfit is so cute, and I love the pictures with the cupcake.

Looks so much fun! & I'm with you on the ickyness of rivers, aaagh. I can't go in water where I can see ANYTHING. Seriously, I went in water near Italy which was full of algae which isn't that bad, but the fact that I could even see my hand underwater made me wince, ewww. & I hate stepping on seaweed! Glad I'm not alone!

I love tubing! I've only done it when being pulled by a motor boat, but never just leisurely floating down a river. It sounds lovely though. And haha, I don't like touching the bottom of lakes either! I'm terrified of fish.
Jasmine Lee says
I love stripes so this top is perfect!
Tubing is so much fun!
You and your friend both look absolutely gorgeous!
