River Trip!

I finished school on Thursday, June 10th. The kids were out Friday, June 11th. Time to relax, sleep in, do whatever we want, right? WRONG! On Friday, we picked the kids up at noon and drove 8 hours to Arizona. WHAT!?! That's a long drive. It's okay. We went to meet up with Eric's family for a weekend of jet skiing on the Colorado River. At first I was quite skeptical about such a long trip right after becoming free for the summer. Once we got there, we had tons of fun. It was wonderful seeing his family and hanging out on the river. It was much different than being on a lake. You can see the bottom the entire time and it's not very wide at all. We'd ride up the river then stop and turn off the engine. The river would just calmly pull us downstream. Very relaxing and quite cool. We found some houses that sit on the river that we want to rent out next year for a week with his bro and his family. We were able to relax on a man-made beach, swim in the hotel's pool and hot tub, and just have a great time. I admit...I didn't think it'd be much fun, especially for my first weekend of summer. The drive wasn't tons of fun, but luckily Eric does all the driving so we slept, watched movies, slept some more, listened to tons of music, and slept again. We were only there for 2 nights, but I'm glad we went.
