Default Traditions

The first thing I do is walk out to the end of the dock and say to my wife and kids - I'm home! I dont live on the lake, don't own a house but have been renting at the old Saunders Bay Motel & Cottages since I was a baby and now my family and I come back to what is now Yacht Club Vista and rent a condo at the same place for a week. This year it was very strange as my son started college and could not come with us the last week in August! It just was not the same! So this year we are trying to move up to the begining of August, but we are having problems finding a place to rent that week (Most of the owners want to come up that week).

The last thing do before we head home is to take a swim and walk out to the same dock and say "till next year". The next day, at home, I am never in a hurry to jump in the shower as I don't want to wash the lake out of my hair.
