2 Words: Hot + Tub

Last week, Holly and I had a chance to experience some element of a vacation.  We were blessed to be able to stay at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia and take our good friends Andy, Teresa, and their pup Chauncey.  

Highlights: Dock jumping at 10:00 pm, fireworks on all sides of the balcony (the neighbors forked out some $!), watching Neela (the little dog) swim on her on, , playing Halo 2 until 4:00 am, making the decision to stay an extra day, (and finally) the hot tub.  

Lowlights: The jet ski’s inability to start, Montana’s fear of deep water, not a single bite on the line, leaving to go home.

Lowlight honorable mention: has to be the book I started to read on “a black theology of liberation.”  There’s only so many times that I want to hear “whitey” and “honkey” used to describe whites…

Overall, it was a quality getaway.  (Thanks Tim and Judy!)
