Memorial Day vacation

Well, this past weekend it was back to the Ozarks for the Memorial Day weekend. As it has been an entire year due to the accident, I was really relishing the chance to get out on the boat. A nerve-wracking start, as the airline had messed up my ticket, but once that was corrected, it was smooth sailing. On the way down, I stopped and met relatives for some mexican food in Sedalia - I had planned on seeing the parents but a nice surprise that my aunt and uncle were there as well!



After a hour or two of cleaning on Friday (plus a trip to the marina for a new battery) I headed off on the water to meet some friends for dinner/drinks. Saturday was spent on the boat cruising with different friends and then off to party with my brother-in-law Saturday night. My sis had a friend down for the weekend as well, so Jim got a kitchen pass - thanks Julie!

Sunday was more boating, and listening to live music on the water, plus the normal fireworks display. Per usual, on Monday most everyone heads back home, and that left me time to do a little research on vacation properties at the Lake. Then I kissed goodbye to the weekend by heading to a little bar on the water and listening to some more tunes before putting the boat away for the weekend. The weather really cooperated this weekend - not even the usual 1 day of rain. It was great to get further back towards normal.
