Just got back home from a super duper weekend of camping and boating.
There were 27 of us, including my Mom, Dad, Brother, Uncles and Aunts,
First & Second Cousins, and Gran even came up for a day.

We had 5 boats and 5 campsites right next to each other on the waters
edge.

A few of us fished early in the morning ( I caught a couple of walleye
and a small northern pike). Went swimming and tubing all afternoon,
and sat by the campfire at night telling jokes, playing cards,
yakking, and just plain having fun.

Would you believe we had brought everything but the kitchen sink and
the only thing we forgot was a camera?

We rafted in a nice quiet bay but only had 1 radio playing a country
and western station (the only station we could get real good. One song
was something about the fish were biting and his wife wanted him to
come home but since the fish were biting she was going to have to go.
(That will be me telling my husband if I get married to buzz off when
the fish are biting)

My Dad took the empty "beverage cans" home in the back of his truck
for the animal shelters. I think there were enough cans to keep a
bunch of homeless dogs fed for a week or two.

Just wanted to say Hey! to everbody. Gotta go back to work tomorrow
and need some rest.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as me.

Love you all

Nice post Marisa! My wife and I got out to the Chesapeake on Saturday for the
day. Played around and then went to a little "boaters' beach" island, anchored,
and had lunch. Nothing really exciting, but it was a nice day on the water!

You didn't say where your adventures took place.

On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD,
on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay!

I am glad to hear somebody else had a great weekend. I hope everyone
else did too!.

I bet boating down on that bay is great!. My Dad was close to the area
on a number of trips to a steel mill down near the bay. He showed me
pictures of a real long bridge over a part of the bay. It looked so
nice over the water. And lots of water!

At least I think that is right, but I could be wrong about the area.
Please forgive me if I am wrong about a big steel mill being there.
That was probably about 10 years ago but the name sounds familiar. My
Dad hates to fly and I remember him complaining about asking his
secretary to book him back on the first big plane tp Pittsburgh.If I
remember the story right, she booked him on a little commuter plane. A
jet that took off 20 minutes later made it to Pittsburgh before he
did. I remember he was pretty mad.

My cousin's husband is a pilot. He flies a 50 passenger jet.

Oh well, I am wandering off again.

Please read my other long winded post about my trip.

Do you remember gummy candy Sweedish fish or was that a Pittsburgh
area thing?
