Summer Vacation 2011: Day 2

Saturday morning, I was the first one up. I had a cup of coffee and sat on our patio reading for a little bit. It was really pretty at first and then it got hot! We had decided to rent a boat for the afternoon, so we stuck around the house all morning. The property has a great walking trail that was right behind our house. We walked about 2 miles and it was a great way to start the morning!

After our walk, we headed into Holiday Island's town and had lunch at Geraldi's. Their pizza was wonderful!!! We split a pizza and a salad. It was perfect! We did get some good advice on pizza for the next time. We heard that Chelsea's is AWESOME (just a reminder for me when we go back)! After lunch, we went to the store and grabbed some fruit and water for lake. I made a few sandwiches, we changed clothes, and headed to the marina. Renting the boat was fabulous!!!! We loved every second of the 4 hours! It was hot and sunny and just perfect! We have decided that we are "boat-people"...and one day will be buying one. :) As we were heading back to the marina, we decided to kill the motor and just float for awhile...getting out to swim and just hang out for the last 45 minutes. However, when we tried to start the boat, it wouldn't start. Ugh! Thankfully, we were right by the marina and they came to save us. And, thankfully, it wasn't a big deal...the starter had just gone out. Easy fix and we headed back. It was a little embarrassing that we needed help, but a little humility is always a good thing...plus, they assured us that the starter does this sometimes and it was nothing that we did. But, still...

We went back to the house and got ready for dinner out. Ken loves catfish and I heard of this all-you-can-eat catfish place called Catfish Cabin. It was pretty good. Not his favorite, but still good. I had their grilled fish tacos and I LOVED them!!! It was a cute little place and everyone was really friendly. We were so tired from the day when we got home that we skipped the hot tub and watched a little TV before bed. I'm sad we didn't use the hot tub, but we'll definitely be back again. :)
