A week at the Lake

Every year the Gernatt family goes to the beach for a week. This year they decided to change it up and go to the Lake. The house was on Lake Chatuge in Hiawasee, Ga. Most everyone went up on Saturday but I had to come up on Tuesday bc Josh and I were at the beach until Monday.

We had so much fun at the Lake. There was a main house and then four cabins. I stayed in a cabin with my immediate family. Matthew and Ashley brought the boat up so everyone had a blast skiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, and tubing! And yes, I went tubing. I have had some people tell me that they didn't think that was good for my baby...but I don't really want other peoples opinions. Matthew took it very easy on me when I was tubing. It was basically just a joy ride behind the boat. The lake was so beautiful, surrounded by mountains and so peaceful. I saw one boat out the enitre time we were there! That is so different from Lake Allatoona.

I was really missing my hubby so everyday I would call him and ask him to come up on Friday. He would tell me that he would just have to see... :( After enough begging he couldn't take it anymore. Apparently I am good at ruining surprises bc he was going to surprise me the whole time but since I asked so much, he finally just told me that he was coming up on Friday. So friday night he headed up to the lake and got there about 9. We went down on the dock and fished for a little while with my dad and brother. After not catching much of anything we called it a night. The next day we cleaned up the place and packed and headed to a public site where we could take the boat out and picnic that afternoon. Josh and my brother knee boarded and skiied. It was a lot of fun spending time with family and being in the sun!

After this trip being immediately after my beach trip, I realized that I am a lake and mountain kind of girl! Don't get me wrong, I love the beach but I hate the sand and stickiness that comes with it! Give me a beautiful house with a pool and hot tub, on the lake, with a boat and I will be a happy girl :) Haha, that's not asking too much, is it?! Jk!

Anyways..now on to more lake adventures. Josh and I are headeed to the lake on friday with his family. We will only be there until Saturday night though. But we are excited :) I love vacations, even if they are short!
