I was getting a little frustrated trying to compile EOS this weekend (I did finally get it compiled! More on that in a future post), so I made a last minute decision to take the family out, rent a canoe + a kayak, and float down a river here in Tennessee. We had a blast!
Here are some pictures and a short video at about the 40 second mark.
I didn't have my phone out much today as it was mostly tucked safely in a ziplock bag. It is my new phone, after all.
It took us about 45 minutes to drive to Foggy Bottom Canoe and Kayak Rental in Kingston Springs. We got in the water around 3:00pm and floated until 5:30pm. We all had so much fun. It was about $37 per boat and that included all the equipment and a van ride up the river. They put the boats in for you and all you have to do is float down river with little or no effort. They also pull the boats out at the end.
It was a perfect day for a perfect family activity. I know we'll be back, and I may be hunting around Craig's List for cheap canoes. :)
I hope you had a great weekend as well.
LOL!!! Anyone else get that reference to the "Princess Bride?" Ahahaha!!! "...Anyone want a peanut!?"
Cool video!

I love the video, it's a good idea to keep have all the pictures together and watch it in a few years with your grown kids again :)

Looks like you all had a great time! :) Appreciate your including the video. The kids look happily content floating down the river. What was that about the new phone? Why tucked away in a ziplock bag? To make it waterproof?

Got to mix work with pleasure. A break makes me far more productive than when I try to work straight through.

It is good to get your mind of of things to go out with your family, especially when you head in to nature. Great weather, lovely people around and being near water, love it!

Nothin' better than a leisurely day driftin' down a river! I grew up on the Savannah River and have many fond memories of it. Greta times. You guys look great for having three by the way! Correct me if I'm wrong. Take care and enjoy the family time together!

Sometimes the single best thing we can do for ourselves is to unplug and take a "technology break." Looks like you guys had a good time! Late fall/early winter is a good time to look for canoes/kayaks on Craigslist... when people decide they are "tired of them" or don't really have winter storage. Good luck!

You owning a canoe, now that's something! :D It's great that you get to take breaks like this once in a while. I hope the kids enjoyed the trip (it looks like they did) and I hope that these memories last them for a lifetime. Great job compiling EOS, I'm trying it out now as well.

Family time is the most important. Your kids will look back to this post 10-20 years from now and recall the memories well spent in the river.

Looks like he did! Thanks for the great suggestions Luke! lol I still have so much to explore locally. Now that we are parking the rig for a little bit, I still feel like a newcomer to the area which is fun.
