Lake Amistad Vacation

On Friday Morning, we left the house at 6:15AM We arrived in Del Rio at Lake Amistad Resort right around 9AM! We then had to check in, get the boats (house boat, and tubing boat), load EVERYTHING onto the boats, and go through orientation! We finally set sail at noon!

Since the house boat only goes about 10 mph, it took us about an hour and a half to get to where we docked! Bryan drove the tubing boat half the time, then he captained the "biggie" boat!

The "Biggie" Boat

We docked in a cove, ate lunch ... and everyone was ready to get in the water! One of the cottage parents took a couple boys out tubing, while Bryan got to play lifeguard at the house boat! The water was amazing!

We swam, fished, and they tubed ... until the evening! We ate, watched a movie, then went to bed!

The next morning, we went to another place to hang out! I road with Bryan on the other boat! The scenery was beautiful! We even found Indian signs on the cliff walls!!

We went swimming in some very cold water. They had found an area where there were a lot of natural springs coming out of the ground and down the mountains!

The House Boat had a slide off of the back end ...

Having a little fun!

Fishing Saturday Evening! My Favorite Pic of the Trip ...

On Sunday morning, we cleaned the house boat ... and headed back to check in!

I even drove the boat for a little bit!

I had been saying that there was an alligator in the Lake that was going to eat me ... Then when I saw this, I actually had to look twice!! It was a bunch of tires!

We left our cove around 10:30, and finally made it back to the check in marina at 12:30PM!

We then went into Del Rio, and ate some really good Mexican food ... then headed home! We finally got home around 5PM!
