Great Day at Lake Anna, VA
Lake Anna is the home of a nuclear power plant, and some of the finest lake
boating to be had. The Lake Anna State Park has a nice launch ramp, great picnic areas, and even a small beach. Of course, due to the economy, they've had to start charging adults and kids to use the beach. Oh well, the use of the water is still free - although all the launch ramps in the area cost $8. As you'll see, the smiles on these guys' faces was well worth the $8 for launching the boat! Here's the ramp and a view of the lake: http://tinyurl.com/36knjr8 Ready to go! http://tinyurl.com/2uq8ojt We had the lake almost to ourselves. Weekday boating is definitely the way to go! http://tinyurl.com/359b79u The kids are getting addicted to tubing. http://tinyurl.com/32b2syr http://tinyurl.com/38fpv7h This smile alone is worth $8! http://tinyurl.com/37q48ec We had a super time. They're already pestering me to do it again. -- John H |

Yep, they're addicted to tubing, and they'll never forget the outings with grandpa either! |

And it beats loading everybody up and going to an expensive amusement park and standing in the sun to ride for a couple hrs just to ride some 7 minute whirly-gig! |

And it beats loading everybody up and going to an expensive amusement park and standing in the sun to ride for a couple hrs just to ride some 7 minute whirly-gig! You know, that's the damn truth. Kings Dominion is a couple more exits down the highway after the Lake Anna exit, and, as you said, it's quite expensive - especially for two adults and three kids. Having been to both, now, I can say that this Lake Anna excursion was a hell of a lot more fun. And, it cost a lot less. Probably burned a total of 25 gallons with the 4Runner and the boat, and paid the $8 to get it. KD would have cost about $35 a pop! (Maybe a mite less for me since I'm old and ugly, and a racist moron liar according to nincdepoop.) -- John H |
