Lisa,
No, the boat takes so much more gas than a car. Seriously it only gets a couple miles to a gallon. Of course, it's fun just to take it out so far onto the river or lake and float. Tony fishes and I lay out.
We had a really pretty boat that we sold to some people in FL year before last. That was a great deal. They paid us to deliver it, so we made a vacation out of it on our anniversary. I miss the boat, but Tony bought me a new diamond ring and gave it to me while we were there, so it was a nice trade off
When we got married, all we could afford were wedding bands and then on our 7th anniversary, Tony got me a half carat diamond. Finally on our 19th, he bumped me up to a full carat! I thought this year on our 20th, he should have doubled that
How did I go from talking about boats to diamonds?
Anyway, now we have a bass boat. It's not nearly as much fun as the other, but Tony really enjoys it. There's a deck for the girls and I to lay out on. I got some great pointers from other Yorkie Moms about how to keep them cool while out on the boat.
Our pool is history
I have pictures of Chloe and Misty swimming in it, but the girls won't ever get to. My BIL and SIL have a lovely inground pool, I'm sure they'll get to take a dip sometime.
