Refreshingly Cold River Water!

I am completely exhausted from this past weekend! It was way to much fun, packed with Taco Mac Beers, REI Scratch & Dent sale, 80"s costume/B-day Party, and Kayaking on the Upper Hooch.... way, way to tiring! Needless to say, my lunch hour today was spent in my office with the lights out--passed out on my desk. Ahhh, what a refreshing lunch break ;)

The 80's party was great! I love any chance to dress up and be a goof ball!

But... I think kayaking wore me out the most, especially after an already packed weekend. I can never pass up a trip down the river though! 

Yesterday the average temp was a whooping 95 degrees with a heat index of 100-- and humid. It was the kinda hot that made you sweat when you were even sitting still, even in the shade, Yuck! So, nothing feels better on those scorching hot days than a dip in cold river water. I took a few that day, however, one was unintentional--- this was the first time I have ever tipped my boat over/feel out. I am sure it won't be the last, and it wasssss about time it happened to me. Falling out in rushing river water did shake me up a'lil bit, but I wasn't hurt-- so Jeremy emptied out my somewhat sunk and water logged kayak- I made a stupid joke- and the group started back down the river. The saying, "when you fall off the horse, you have to dust yourself off, and get back on again" comes to mind....

Now, with my first river trip of the year (& Kayak tipping) over... I am super amped up for Paddle GA 2010! Let the Froogle packing begin -- 40 LBs or less of luggage required & w/ 4 days and counting left! Ya Ya!
