In October of 1999 we traded one of our timeshares and rented a houseboat on Lake Powell. Kirk and Kacey, Kim and Nate and Jamie Hearold also went with us. We also brought a jet ski and our ski boat. Looking back, this was a wonderful and memorable vacation. The scenery and solitude was beautiful and awesome. But, if truth be told, it is a glorified camping trip on water with a lot of people in a very small space. We only had a few 'people' problems and thank goodness we could park and I could get off the houseboat everyday and enjoy the scenery on dry land. I was very nervous about baby Sarah falling off the boat and drowning, so that was a constant worry. One day Jamie and Amy got lost on the Jet Ski which had me very worried and I was constantly worried about someone getting hurt and us being miles away from medical help. While we had lots of fun and no major problems, this is not a vacation that we repeated again.
