Now you know where the ghost of your old van went!

Florida reader here, and we'd love to invite you down, but there's no way in hell I'd ever own a boat. It's ALWAYS better to have friends with boats than to own a boat yourself. Ditto pools.

My favorite type of boating is standing on dry land and watching others in their boats.

Ah, Wisconsin! Cool and crisp is how I remember it. We had a couple of family vacations there when I was a kid. Stayed in a cabin on a lake but only had to deal with a row boat and horses and neither of those broke down. Perhaps all the mechanical problems stuff goes along with you wherever you go, like Pigpen's cloud of dust of Peanuts fame?

WAZE is much better than google maps.

Why yes, I am a Florida subscriber. The water is warm, so choose your type, fresh water with alligators or salt water with sharks.

Hmmm. I'm guessing Lake Winnebago. I used to live up that way. And yes, I've seen snow flurries in July "up dere in da Nortwoods."

I also have proof AI are rebelling, Google maps and waze in Corsica made us make a 1 hour long CIRCLE and wanted us to do more circles when we just had to turn around... nice 1 hour drive into the maquis though 😄

We live in Texas. No boat, but we do have a pool that’s a year old. Give us a holler if you’re in the Dallas area

To be fair... it's really easy to miss exits in Milwaukee...

Despite the breakdowns, sounds like a fun weekend. Looking forward to reading about the house. I love boats, but hubby’s not a fan of being on the water, so I only wish for friends with boats (and we live in a harbor town!).
