Sometimes You Need to Get Away from Your Horses

This photo is of a time-share houseboat on Lake Powell, whose shoreline touches both Arizona and Utah. I've never been, but the photos are breathtaking. You can find out about getting a houseboat timeshare on Lake Powell at Sunrise Peak's Lake Powelll Houseboats

It was already humid when I was cleaning the stalls this morning. School gets out next week, and I can't wait to go somewhere where there's a large body of water. I love my horses, but I love me more. Sometimes you just need to get away from your horses. (And they probably need a break from you, too.)

I always thought houseboats were kind of silly and for old people until some of our good friends got one and we've had the pleasure of boating with them on Lake Lanier in Georgia. It really is so much fun and a great way to really get away from it all. However, they spend all of their free time maintaining their boat. While I think they enjoy it, like I enjoy cleaning stalls (sort of), maintaining a boat wouldn't be the thing for me.

Our friends own their monstrous big fancy boat (whopping big investment) but you can also get a timeshare on a boat at Lake Powell. If I lived closer, I'd certainly look into it.

Hubby and I did a small getaway to Lake Powell a few Septembers ago. Even though it was the the holiday weekend, it was quite pleasant. It was perfect weather and we loved the river raft tour... just amazing scenery!
Hope you do get to check it out one day!
take care and happy horsin' around!

Lake Powell is absolutely beautiful. I love Arizona and have been there many times over the years. (Grandparents) You are right though sometimes as much as we love them a break from the horses can be a good thing. Let's face it they are a lot of work and worry. As long as you have a competent person to care for them while you are gone going away for a week is a great way to refresh yourself.

Lake boating is so pleasant. I hope you get to Lake Powell someday soon.
Don't forget to pack the sunscreen and mosquito repellent for your get-away.
