What can I say about this year's vacation other than it was another wonderful week at Fern.I think I understand why people enjoy cruises so much; I mean, if it's anything like being at Fern (and I think it is a little bit) then it's such a relaxing and satisfying vacation. There's always something to do (or not, if that's what you want), the kids have so much fun and you don't need to lift a finger to do anything. Oh, and let's not forget the food! Yup, why risk sea sickness when you can have all the amenities of cruising while sitting at the edge of a beautiful Canadian lake?
The only downside of our trip was that it was a bit windy that week. The weather was very cooperative with sun and all but the wind made it a little cooler. Also, I had hoped to get a lot more kayaking in than I did - the lake was just too choppy and rough to enjoy a paddle most days. I did, however, get a chance to explore a little deeper into the marsh on the north(?) end of the property. That was like a trip into some far-away jungle...very cool.
Next year we're thinking we're going to take the kids to Disney World, which should be lots of fun, but we're already lamenting that we won't be able to do a week at Fern and do Disney. Guess I'd better stock up on lottery tickets, eh?
