What used to be the lake at Trace State Park

     Will and I took our boat, "Guilt Trip", out for the first time all summer.  At one point, we thought we might sell it, because we don't ever take it out.  Then, Will attended Eric's dad's funeral and everyone that spoke about Mr. Jimmy mentioned all the family time spent together at the lake.  Will came home and told me, "We are not selling the boat."  We took Guilt Trip out to Trace State Park for a quick outing today, only to find out that the lake had been drained 3 years ago!  We didn't want to let a dried-up lake discourage us, so we decided to drive to Fulton, MS, and put in on the Tombigbee Waterway.  This was Hannah's first boat ride, if I am remembering correctly.  We all had a fun day on the lake.  Will and I think we are going to rename Guilt Trip.  Double Play is a contender, since we are a baseball family, and our boat is getting a second go at being a part of our family's playtime.
