Finally a visit with family
/I have not seen either of my brothers since mom passed away two years ago. We promised we would stay in touch. but Covid decided to keep us apart, that and they live in other states. I must say I miss the family connection more than I realized until my brother and sister-in law, Tim & Rene, came to visit and then left. It made me sad not knowing when we would be together again.
While they were here we decided to spend a day out on the boat. We had a perfect weather day. The river was so flowing nicely from the rains we had been having so while it appeared calm we decided not to chance it and didn’t swim, next time!
Our Day on Lake Gaston
/
Originally we were heading out for a long holiday weekend of camping but due to the events of the past few weeks I decided I wanted to stay at home for the earlier part of the weekend so from Wed - Friday that is exactly what we did. We stayed home, cleaned out closets, cleaned carpets and enjoyed the pool.
Saturday though we had promised to visit friends who own a home on Lake Gaston (on the Virginia/NC border) and Guy thought it was best for me to get out of the house and do something different so early Saturday morning we headed to the Lake. It is just a three hour drive and holiday traffic was our friend so no delays were to be had and after stopping for a quick breakfast we arrived to a beautiful day, beautiful home and beautiful lakefront to enjoy for the next day and half.
We had a fantastic time just watching the kids (and a few adults) enjoy all the water toys while we caught up, had some drinks, enjoyed the fantastic sunny weather and just relaxed. We also were taking out for a boat ride (video below) to see the lake as I had never been there before. Anyone who knows me knows that boating is one of my favorite things and I would do it every weekend if possible so I jumped on the chance to go for the ride. I was not disappointed :)
