We were invited to spend the day on Lake Monroe by some of our Bloomington friends yesterday. They had hired a double decker pontoon from 7am to 7pm and we made use of it for at least 10 of those hours. We've been to Lake Monroe before, it's only a 15 minute drive from here, but the shore isn't such a nice place to swim as it's kind of muddy and flotsam collects in the shallow areas.
It was a happy day. We'd drive on the lake for a bit, float around the boat a bit, drive some more, eat, float some more. Like a mini vacation, a day at the beach, except we were on the water. Half way through the day we picked up a tire that we could pull behind the boat. Pontoons aren't super fast so it wasn't too much of a thrill ride but we could try different tricks, like standing and catching the boat's wake waves.
We got home happy, sunburnt, and tired, our smile muscles aching. Jbird was asleep within 20 minutes. I think it may have been the most fun I've had in B'ton. But it's back to the books for me today.
