Spring break, part 1

 I'm not a student but I did take a spring break this year.  This was my first time on a plane in more than a year.  I was planning to go visit my parents in Utah for my first trip (also my last trip of 2019).  But then my friend called and said that she rented a lake house for a long weekend in Georgia, and invited me to go with them. Since Atlanta is a Delta hub, it was easy enough to just add this first leg onto the trip.  

These are some pictures of the lake at different times of the day.  The house was right on the lake and had a set of stairs down to their own personal dock.  



This one is after it rained all day and finally cleared up around dinner time


Since it rained one full day, the only chance we had to kayak was the few morning hours on the last day before we had to check out at 11:00 am. 



One day, we rented a boat.  Milena has some friends that have a lake house and a boat, so she has had lots of experience driving a boat.  I took a turn at the steering wheel.  Behind us, you can see her kids on a tube (that yellow thing in the water).  I also took a turn on that.  I thought the water was going to be cold because I'm used to the ocean, but it wasn't bad at all.  
We have been friends for almost 40 years ! 


Next stop, Moab....
