Lake Powell

Chris and I just got back from a one week vacation to Lake Powell. We were invited by our friend John. Twelve of us stayed on a houseboat, and it was a great time! John's parents, John and Leona, are 81 and 82 years old, and they're a riot! John's sister and brother-in-law, Cheryl and Bill, also came along for the ride. Their daughter and son-in-law, Erin and Drew, joined us a couple of days into the stay. And, John's buddy, Lissa, added a unique element to the group. Lastly, our friends from Yuma, Cindy and Brent, traveled in the Suburban with us to and from the lake.

We spent Friday night in Flagstaff, and then we headed to Page, AZ on Saturday morning. The lake is HUGE! And, it is surrounded by mountains made of sandstone that literally crumble right before your eyes. Our houseboat was named Tranquility, and it was one of the more modest boats on the lake. There's a lot of money floating on Lake Powell!

During the trip, I read "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks, and it was a beautiful love story. It only took me a couple of days to read. Chris put on an awesome fireworks show too! It was like a professional one. I also kayaked for the first time and absolutely loved it! We also rode our jet ski and swam in the lake.

Overall, the trip was very relaxing, but I was happy to get home to my googs!
