7/4/2013 0 Comments Day Trips Idea #8One weekend last month, we traveled to a local park and spent the day on the lake. No we don’t own canoes, or boats, or anything like that, we rented them. The kids had a blast, my son’s friends think we’re cool, and everyone in the house—except me, I wore sunscreen—was a nice pink color. First we canoed, price of $3.50 an hour per boat…I challenge anyone to do this for longer than an hour. My son is a like a powerhouse and I struggled to make the kid understand “leisurely” paddling. After this we enjoyed lunch under some shade trees before returning to the boat dock for our second round of bodily torture—paddle boating. Price again was $3.50 an hour per boat and four people can fit on one boat. This works the opposite muscles from the canoe but is no less difficult. Personally I think my boat was defective. It just didn’t want to move in the forward position. Backwards, however, seemed to strike a cord with the vehicle. Now I could stop there. Fourteen dollars for an afternoon worth of fun is a great price but I had to follow it up. I was thirst! My family and I stopped at McDonald’s for a Frappe. May I say I was vastly disappointed. The first McDonald’s was cleaning their machine, in the middle of a hot summer day, hmm. And the second McDonald’s (yes I wanted one that bad) left huge hunks of ice in my Frappe. This of course added to the expense of our trip but I’ll leave it to you whether you want to add this to yours. Thanks again for stopping by. I don’t have any books that discuss being on the lake or drinking frappes, but feel free to check out the works I do have on the Books page of this website. And as always thanks for stopping by.
