Default Vacation Time

We are doing a combination this year. Monday's off for most of June, July, and August. Then taking the week of the 4th, and the last week of July and First week of August.

I agree that by spreading our vacation time out we're bound to have some good weather. Have had the unfortunate experience of taking 2 weeks in a row and experiencing nothing but rain everyday.

As far as boating activity, we were out yesterday, early run to Cow for breakfast at a friend's place, 8:00 AMish. Hardly any boat traffic. Same on the way back, 8:00 PMish.

Love It !!

Bill

What I've been seeing on line is a lot like this weeks weather.
Sure hope it changes because I've seen Monday & Tuesday, questionable then Friday & Saturday rain.
We are off from the 4th to the 8th and as we all know a lot can change between the forcasted weather and the actual weather.

can't work, have to pack the car,
can't work leaving in 8 hours
can't work brain on lake mode
can't work body shaking from excitement

CAN"T WORK LEAVING FOR THE LAKE IN 8 HOURS AND I ALREADY LEFT WORK!!!! (in my mind)

You all are lucky...I have 8 long weeks to wait. Can't get up there until August 23rd! My sister and her family will get there the end of July. Pure torture knowing they're up there in God's country and I'll be stuck here in Dallas in the Devil's country!!!

I can't speak for everybody, but as a new year-round resident, reading these posts about how excited folks are about their vacations reminds me how lucky I am to live here now. It also reminds me how important all the vacationers are to the lake economy. My hometown of Wolfeboro is bustling now and the boat traffic is looking like a highway out there in Wolfeboro Bay, but I LOVE it! I hope everyone has a great weather and great time up here.

T-Minus 2 hours! How's this for a vacation plan?

Tonight through Sunday on our boat on Boston Harbor to check out the Tall Ships. Then, at Black Cat through Wednesday night, then at the farm on coastal Maine to close out the week.



Hurry up 4PM!

Ditto to all of the above! I'm not completely full-time, but three nights out of every week all year I sleep in Moultonborough! We are leaving shortly to spend TEN whole days there! Woohoo...

I too, am loving watching the lake "come alive." I hope you all have great vacations!
