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!

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.
welp, there I am with no sleep… don’t we look lovely. This is what I THOUGHT a house boat looked like. Yikess!! Our captain! (aka, Daddy) The two responsible for this adventure! This trip was a graduation gift for Emy and Corey (my brother and sister!) She’s excited… and really close to the edge! ???
That’s scary… Michael’s dad!  We took our little baby boat along for transportation and tubing! Night swimming! I didn’t NOT do this… I hate dark water at night! ah!
Tying up and parking an 80 foot boat is harder than it seems! And then a storm rolled in…. And we watched from the top deck… Then we ate Emy’s “Pinterest” inspired popcicles that were awesome and so photogenic! And then we went on a boat ride…. And this could have been such a masculine picture if he wasn’t wearing Emy’s Anne Klein sunglasses. haha Houses we would all love to own…We swam…. And tubed…. and floated…..on an air mattress?  Michael got to come for 24 hours! It was a short stay but so worth it! 
strange… and then we hung out… And then we pushed off and set sail! My husband was excited… I was very tempted to photoshop this and make me tan… but that’s not realistic. I’m very much a redhead!

And then we cruised for a while…

Really Emy?! Photobomb. And then they found a cave that was begging to be explored… And then they found a rock that was begging to be climbed… And then they passed out! And then it was dinner time… Don’t know why I included this… I just liked it I guess! And then Emy made a commercial for bug spray…. And then we took a group picture… And then Michael and I had to leave:( But it was fun while it lasted!!
