It’s official… Boat Trip 08 was a raving sucess! In typical fashion, I spent more time hanging out than taking pictures, but here are a few highlights:
The limited-edition Boat Trip 08 huggie: (yes, it’s camo)
The Homeade Banner. Kristi’s soon-to-be-husband’s last name is Lingas. As you can imagine, we get a LOT of mileage out of that joke :) And, yes, there’s a grammar mistake. I’m over it already.
Friday Night– Bachelorette Party at Skeeters
After a great deal of pre-drinking on the deck, we decided to head to Skeeters for dinner and a little bachelorette party/karaoke fun (check out Kristi’s bachelorette gear… HA-larious!)
Saturday– LAKE DAY!
This year’s new addition to the Boat Trip was the Docking Island that Erin and Jaime bought. Although it took a year and a half to inflate, it was mos def a good buy. Unfortunately, I didn’t take many pix at the lake. I was a little too busy sunning, swimming, jumping off house boats and jet skiing to worry about pix. Here are a few, though:
Saturday Night-
After a minor boating crisis (thank GOD we had our nautical experts on board), we made it back to the hotel, had dinner, cleaned up and went back to Skeeters. It was their annual New Year’s Eve party, so we watched the fireworks and danced a bit. Some people stayed all night, but I was pooped and went back early.
Once again, it was a great, great time. I’m already looking forward to next year!

When I first read this, I thought “Boat Trip 08″ meant it was the 8th boat trip you’d taken, and I was thinking “Wow! What commitment to tradition!” Then at the end of the blog, I realized that you’re still committed; I’m just a dumbass. :-) Looks like a super trip!

“Girls” would have been appropriate in this context.
I really expected {girls’ } from a group of professionals such as yourselves. Hell, you even work for a consortium of English teachers, right?
I LOVE it that ARBY’S and Wesch sponsored!!!
I’ll take a giant roast beef!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
