Early Christmas Present!!!

I got an early Christmas present today from my mother-in-law. I had told Karen earlier that I was wanting to save up some money for a kayak. Mom called to let me know that various stores were having sales the day after Thanksgiving.

After extensive research on the various brands for sale, we picked this one up at Dick's Sporting Goods for 1/2 price. It is a Wilderness Systems Pamlico 100. According to the reviews I read online last night, it is a great brand for beginning kayakers...and for big guys since the cockpit is larger than most other models. It is designed for rivers and lakes and up to Class II rapids.

I can't wait to get it out on the water in the spring!!!

Scares me. I don't know if I could drag you to shore or flip you over!

Years ago I was shopping for a kayak - thinking it'd be a good exercise for "Lake" Eureka before school. But another purchase took priority.

I bought an engagement ring instead.

A better investment, sure, but it still makes me a little jealous.
