Growing up in Minnesota gave me the privilege of being able to enjoy lake life. Lake life is spending days laying out on a boat not worrying about anything else. It’s jumping off docks and eating at Zorbaz nearly every weekend of the summer. It’s waking up early to watch the sunrise on the lake, and staying up late to watch it set next to a bonfire. It’s true bliss. I wouldn’t give up the amazing summers, the wipeouts, the laughs, the friends, the adventures, or the memories for anything. Here are a few reasons why lake life is the best life.
1. The sunsets on the lake
Nothing beats an evening pontoon
ride while watching the sunset. The colors and the scenery will immediately send
you into a state of awe. There is something about watching it on the water makes it that much
better.
2. Your back yard is literally a lake
There are endless summer possibilities when you have
a lake right in your backyard. You can go boating, tubing, wakeboarding, jet
skiing, paddle boarding, and so much more. You will never have a boring day
while up north, whether it be sitting on the pontoon listening to music and
enjoying the sun, or just hanging out on the dock, there is always something to
do.
3. You don't have to travel far to get away
You soon learn that being only a few hours or even minutes away from a lake is a luxury. You don’t have to spend days in a car or even hours on a plane to get to an amazing getaway. It is truly a gift.
4. Bonfires are even better with a view
Nothing says Minnesota summer like a night bonfire by the lake. Not only do you get to enjoy the warmth of the fire and the treats that come with it, but you also get to enjoy the view. Unlike normal bonfires in a back yard, you get to enjoy the beauties of a lake. Nothing is better than being able to pull out your oversized sweatshirts (the comfiest kind of course) and cuddling up with good friends while sharing good laughs.
5. You and your friends will always have a summer place
When you and your friends want to get away but don’t want to go through the laboring tasks of planning a whole trip, you can always go up to the lake. It’s easy, enjoyable, and laid back for everyone. It is very hard to turn down an invite to a friend’s cabin.
6. Zorbaz is a gift from the heavens
If you have never been to Zorbaz, you have never lived. Period. It’s the best combination of Mexican, Italian, and who knows what else. Located right on the lake, there is no better spot to grab some friends, dock your boat, and enjoy lunch. Zorbaz is always has a fun, energetic, summer loving crowd waiting for you to join in.
