带着六岁儿子，他比我还开心

儿子在洱海生态廊道骑了半小时单车，脸晒得红扑扑的。最神奇的是在泸沽湖，他居然安安静静坐了二十分钟等日出，虽然最后是靠在我腿上睡着了。猪槽船划到里务比岛时，他伸手去摸湖水，说‘像冰过的汽水’。我本来担心高原反应，但导游提前给了建议，行程节奏也舒服，儿子全程活蹦乱跳。最后一天在玫瑰基地，他偷偷摘了一朵（付了钱的）说要送给妈妈。

行程很顺，但我犯了个低级错误

丽江古城的石板路在傍晚的灯光下特别有味道，纳西老奶奶在门口绣花的样子被我拍下来了。第二天去雪山前，导游反复提醒要涂防晒，我偷懒只涂了脸。结果在云杉坪徒步时脖子和手臂晒得通红，晚上火辣辣地疼。这完全是我自己的问题。不过篝火晚会大家手拉手跳舞的时候，疼也忘了，摩梭小哥教我们唱调子，我五音不全把旁边阿姨逗笑了。

和女朋友的纪念旅行，一切都刚刚好

在蓝月谷的时候，阳光透过云层照在水面上，那种蓝绿色像宝石一样。我女朋友非要我给她拍‘仙女下凡’照，折腾了二十分钟才满意。泸沽湖走婚桥的晨雾特别梦幻，我们牵着手慢慢走，听到草丛里水鸟扑腾的声音。全程最省心的是从来不用想‘接下来怎么办’，车永远在等，门票永远在手，连古城里买玫瑰饼的小店都是导游带我们去的最地道那家。

风景美哭了，就是我自己太能吃了

双廊古镇的夕阳把洱海染成金色，我拍了至少一百张照片。白族三道茶表演很有意思，但我可能对第二道茶的姜味不太适应。最大的问题是管不住嘴——喜洲粑粑一口气吃了两个，晚上在古城又吃了烤乳扇和鲜花饼。结果第二天爬雪山时，感觉胃里沉甸甸的，爬栈道慢吞吞的。导游一直耐心等着，还给我找了温水。

爸妈第一次跟团，全程被照顾得特别好

带爸妈出来玩，最怕他们累着。这次完全不用操心，导游小李把票、车、吃饭全安排好了。在玉龙雪山的缆车上，我妈紧张得一直抓着我爸的手，但看到云杉坪的景色后，她笑得像个孩子。泸沽湖的猪槽船特别稳，船夫还唱了摩梭民歌，声音在湖面上飘着，特别好听。我爸唯一抱怨的是篝火晚会跳得太嗨，第二天小腿有点酸。
