A traveling we will go...

During the month of July,  I took some time away from the wedding scene to go a vacation to Virginia!  I was super excited to see my best friend Kelly and her hubby Gary.  I have already made one trip out their last fall by airplane, but this time Whitney was coming and we were making the 9 hour drive.

While there we cooked great food, had a drink or two or three or more, went mini golfing, went on a hill billy fishing boat ;) just kidding Gary, went shopping at the marina, spent an entire day on a deck boat attempting to water ski and wake board, played survivor on an island, and enjoyed great company!  Thanks for the awesome hospitality at the Scruggs Inn!!!

Bear ready for the boat ride on Kelly and Gary's lake.

Like I said Whitney and I made many attempts but after awhile drinking on the boat seemed more our style.  We left the water tricks up the to Kelly and Gary.

Day 2 on the lake, we loaded up Gary's fishing boat and went to an island on Smith Mountain Lake.  Let me just say I could have done this every day.  The next time we visit we are going to do the same but camp on the island as well. 

The first trip Gary took Whitney, the fire wood, the cooler, and chairs.  When Kelly and I arrived with the dog and the bags packed with snacks and towels, Whitney had set up the site and made a nice fire pit.  WTG Whitney:)

Love this picture of us!  I love the sun and water even though we are dark.
