we took our little boat out on the lake, he would talk about them. In some ways, he almost seemed OBSESSED. He would say “That’s so awesome! We need to do that! Daddy lets do that one summer!”. My brother was obsessed with the idea of vacationing on a houseboat. My sister and I always thought that was the most redneck vacation option out there. Live on a floating TRAILER for a week?! No thank you! But Corey insisted that this would actually be FUN and that we should try something new one year and just DO IT! So we did. This past week my family and 10 other friends broke the mold for family vacation and tried something brand new.
Let me show you a little peak into our 80ft adventure! The trip started a little rough. I stayed up all night on Sunday night… and when I say “all night”… I mean I watched the sun come up. I just had so much to do. Thankfully my sister drove down, helped me pack and I was ready to leave by 5am. The 7hour drive to Norris Lake in Tennessee wasn’t too bad since I slept most of the way. We arrived, parked the cars and then we saw it! There it was, in all of it’s glory… our home for the week! Surprisingly, it wasn’t a floating trailer…. it was a legit, 80 foot boat that just so happened to also be a house that could sleep 16 people! Yea! It came with 6 bedrooms, a living area and kitchen, a front deck, an upper front deck, a curvy slide off the back, a hot tub and a patio area on the top deck. It was awesome!! The surround sound speakers allowed us to have theme music playing as we set sail everyday. It was so much fun! I’ll explain more as we scroll through some images!
The kitchen! A tiny bedroom! Some bedrooms were tucked underneath one another! Two essential parts of the boat. Thank goodness for air conditioning! That slide looks like fun but it’s responsible for losing my sunglasses. Ok maybe I should have taken them off BEFORE plunging into the water.
