T-13 Days

Howdy folks! Just wanted to pop in and tell you about an exciting little adventure I will be having in T-13 days. I'm going on a houseboat trip on the Mississippi!!! Yes, that's right. In less than two weeks, I will be cruisin' the 'ol Miss and enjoying a MUCH needed (and what I like to think is well-deserved) vacation! This li'l trip has been a few months in the making, but it's coming up fast. I am going, along with L and some La Crosse friends, and I couldn't be more excited! I can't even lie, the job has been severely stressing me out lately for a few different reasons, so this couldn't come at a more perfect time. I know, I have a job, so I shouldn't complain, but sometimes ya just need to get away! Anyway, I don't know if you're familiar with houseboats, we did it once when we were kids, and I remember loving it. That being said, it's been a LONG time since that experience. For this trip, there are somewhere between 10-12 of us going at this point, and the model of houseboat we're taking is the Sharpe. Look at those specs and tell me you're not jealous, because I don't think that's possible! ;) Believe it or not, there are FIVE queen-sized sleeping areas. That's pretty impressive! Not only that, but there are also a few other exciting features like a TV,  fridge, oven/stove, grill, and an upper party deck with water slide. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I'm never gonna get off this thing. Well, except for when we dock at various sandbars and I feel the need to get off to lounge and relax on the beach. :) I'm hoping to have lots of pictures to share after the trip, so stay tuned. But for now, I just wanted to get you guys all excited for me and my upcoming trip, ha!
