We started out at a popular park inside the city but there were a lot of people.

It took a lot for me to go at all.

Too many kids and most of them a lot bigger then mine.

The boys wanted to go though, so we stayed for a little bit.

Then we headed outside the city to a nearby lake.

The difference was amazing.

So peaceful.

I always want to turn to my husband and say, “can you imagine living here?”

Then I remember that he pretty much grew up on a lake…

He was also in the Navy.

I did make the mistake of asking once or twice early on in our marriage.

He was polite enough to just smile and not outright laugh at me.
