08/07/2001 Entry: "8/07 The Lake"

I'm working in Mom's store today but thought I'd write how my trip went.

On Saturday morning Angie and Bruce arrived at our house. We originally were going to bring both jet skis along with us, but we found out after they arrived, that they didn't have a trailor hitch on their vehicle. Shawn and I had been told awhile back they were getting one put on so we didn't think to ask. So we only took the one jet ski along. I rode with Angie while Shawn and Bruce drove together. It was a 4 hour trip but went very fast as Angie and I had a lot of catching up to do.

So we arrived at the Fence Lake Lodge on Saturday around 4 p.m. The room we stayed in only had one bedroom, but it had a Queen pullout bed in the couch and a full kitchen. We were extremely pleased with the room and the location. There was a balcony overlooking the lake with sliding doors both from the living room and the bedroom.

It was extremely hot and humid but we toured the grounds a bit and sat by the lake and just relaxed for a couple of hours. I am always hot and was dripping with sweat! We checked into renting a jetski so we could have two but the rates were kind of high, so we decided to rent a Pontoon for the next day. We had decided not to do much that evening because of the drive and the heat. So we stayed in the room, had a few drinks, and played board games all night. It was a blast! Shawn and I had bought a new game called Battle of the Sexes which was a hoot! Angie and I won! We went to bed around midnight.

The next morning we got up bright and early and went onto the Pontoon. That was so much fun! There were a few lakes all connected so we rode around for a total of 4 hours. We had taken a cooler of drinks and food along with us so we were sitting pretty good. We found a private beach that was only accessible by boat so we stopped there for a bit. I'm not much of a swimmer and really don't care for lake water, but this water seemed very clean and clear. We all took a swim and played some water games. I got dunked a few times but had so much fun! It was cloudy the entire day, but I still got a nice sunburn. We had decided to only rent the Pontoon for half a day so we had it back by 1 p.m. Angie and I decided to stay in our room for a bit and took a nap, so Shawn and Bruce went golfing.

After we woke up from the nap, we both got ready for a romantic evening out with our men. We were to meet Shawn and Bruce in the Lodge bar (which is extremely fancy) at 6. So Angie and I got there around 5 and had a few drinks. By the time Shawn and Bruce arrived, we had a $40 bar tab going! They didn't get there until 7:30 because they decided to golf 18 holes instead of 9.....figures :). But that was ok as Angie and I were busy talking and were feeling pretty good after our drinks. We all had a nice time sitting at the bar and finally decided to order supper at 9 p.m.

The food was excellent! They all had seafood while I had a big steak. It was delicious!! Shawn has such a wonderful sense of humor and had a few of the waitresses stopping just to listen in on some of his jokes or comments. I laughed most of the night! We finally left the restaurant around 11 or so and went back to our room for another game of Battle of the Sexes as Shawn and Bruce wanted a rematch. Angie and I won again!! We were beat by then and went to bed.

The next morning we had to check out by 10 so Shawn and I got up extra early and took a boat around the private lake that was near the lodge. It was very quiet and we were the only ones on the lake. I took some pictures but haven't uploaded them to my pc yet. After our boat ride we went back to the room, packed everything up, and left.

The ride home seemed much longer than the ride there. We had a very fun and relaxing weekend though we were both tired from all the sun. I can't wait to go back!
