Day Date

I took the last bit of PTO right as I celebrated my 1 year anniversary at my job. My PTO doesn't roll over year to year, so I need to make sure to use up every last minute.

So to end summer, I decided to take a couple of days off after Labor Day and before the girls start school.

We also used this opportunity to have the girls spend time with my mom and enjoy some alone-time. 

Tuesday happened to be a gorgeous day, so we decided to take the boat out.

The typical stuff - towels, snacks, and drinks

We launched the boat with no issues, well, other than we had to wait for this guy that was taking forever. Once he got the pontoon into the water, he just left his truck in the launch to go help the guy on the boat tie it up. 

So, Steve decided he trusted his trailer backing-up skills and launched on the other side of this guy.

We were successful!

We launched at the south end of the lake, and drove up to the north end and anchored. We brought subs from Wegmans for lunch and had ourselves a little picnic lunch.

The boat has 6 speakers, but none of them work. Naturally, he had to figure out what was going on, so he got up under there. lol. He realized quickly that the main power line wasn't attached to anything. So...yeah we'll be checking that out. It also has a sweet tape deck. 

my favorite spot - the sun pad

Cruising around looking at all the rich people's homes. 

The boathouse. The barn/carriage house, the main house. Good lord. 

It was a lovely day on the boat - we spent maybe 3 hours on the water and it was heavenly. We just need to learn how to anchor our boat the right way so that the anchors hold the boat in place. 

We've had the boat for about 4 weeks and have been out each week so far - 4 times this season! I'm pumped about that. This weekend actually looks good too - and next weekend too! I mean, it's way too early to really tell for next weekend, but this weekend is only 3 days away so the forecast has to be somewhat accurate. 

I highly suggest dating your spouse you guys. Just...do it. You just have to. 

Yes, we talked about our kids a lot, but we also managed to talk about other topics as well. 

I'm very excited that we were able to spend the day together on the lake. We hope to have one or two more days on the boat before putting it away for the winter.

However, Steve did mention taking the boat out in October so we could see all the pretty leaves...which sounds amazing.
