Phil and I just got back from a week at Lake Powell where we poked around on a houseboat with family and enjoyed lots of sunshine and beautiful scenery. It was a great week--very relaxing. We spent a lot of time in the water, which was an absolutely delicious temperature. We also had to weather a nasty thunderstorm in the open water, which was rather alarming as the wind tried to blow the houseboat this way and that while waves crashed over the bow. We saw two small water tornado things and a lot of lightning, including one bolt that struck the lake a bit closer than I felt comfortable with. I had the helm, so that part of the trip was rather stressful, but rest was a lot of fun. It's nice to be back home with the goaties though.
