Well we did it, took one whole week of vacation, and wow I don't know why people don't do it more often. Oh wait we can't, but it was amazing! We really didn't do much of anything really except play on our boat on Lake Eufaula. Most of the activities included playing with the beagles who had their own life jackets and laying out in the sun- not to mention driving our boat. So much fun! I really feel refreshed and renewed. It is amazing how being outside is good for the soul.
Funny story: Heath and I decided to go fishing one evening, got liscensed and had fishing poles in hand. I was personally excited because I love to fish and haven't done it for years. Well we got out on the lake and the water was glass- simply beautiful- and we dropped anchor and lures and waited. Well the ironic thing was there were fish literally (no kidding) jumping all around us. With all of this activity we didn't get one fish! It was like they knew what we were up to and flaunted themselves in front of us! It was like something out of a movie, I actually started laughing. But the view was peaceful and amazing so no complaints.
The beagles loved the lake, I was so proud of them! Britten actually jumped in and wanted to swim- it was so cute. I know I am a bit ridiculous with the beagles, I admit it. haha....
Moral to the story: Vacations are awesome, everyone should take them even if they are only a couple of hours away! I reccomend them! Oh and the lake and new boat help!
