Smith Mountain Lake

This past weekend we explored a new part of Virginia - Smith Mountain Lake. We have wanted to try to meet Paul and Jodi here for quite some time, and finally we picked a weekend to go. We had a beautiful rental house with views of the mountain and lake and the water was very clear and refreshing!

One of the things this location is known for is the film, What about Bob was shot at a home on this lake.
We enjoyed the paddle boat, floating around on the water, a pontoon ride & just relaxing without any of the responsibilities of home...ahh!

There was even a "doggy dock" to enter the water

Bailey could even "swim" (but mostly relaxed)

Mom, Dad, Elise and Maggie paddling

We anchored to swim & John and Elise found this lean-to & played Cap'n Hook

Even Maggie likes to float!

Beautiful evening by the lake..Elise was posing for us.

Fun in the sun.

This was the place to be - near water. The temps this past weekend were in the upper 90's with very high humidity. Thanks for meeting us for a long weekend, Paul, Jodi & Bailey. We'll have to do it again!
