The best day of my year is here tomorrow

JerseyGirl · 07-27-2007, 02:07 PM

Leaving at 4 am tomorrow (Sat) from NJ heading to Bear. Will be there for lobsta roll lunch (if no traffic in CT). Can't wait! Can only stay a week - looks like some rain is moving in. I want every one of you Winnis to blow REAL HARD at the clouds and keep them away! Just in case, have 2 books, 2 decks of cards, and 2 bottles of vodka! Bringing all the grown up kids along too - the family memory making week. Been coming for over 30+ years and still can't wait - feel like a kid in a candy store.

oh, by the way, I don't know how to drive the boat so I'm allowed the vodka!

Buy your Vodka from those pretty liquor stores we put on the highway, it's cheaper than New Jersey.

me too! heading up myself tomorrow. Maybe I'll see you at the Liquor store near the vodka. Last time I was there it was on sale for much cheaper than down here in the flatlands.

I think tomorrow will be "change-over day". It's the end of the 2nd block of 2 week rentals and now the first two weeks of August begins. Expect lots of traffic!

Be careful out there! McD

Sorry for the thread bump but, one week from today ( Aug 5th), Ill be back at the Weirs around 1030am after we leave here at 530am. The 1st stop is to Sawyers at 11am when they open then to Hannaford then to the hotel at 1230 check in and then it officially starts yaaaaaaaay. Then after I come home a week I come back Aug, 19-26th then its alll over for the summer.

For those of you who "bark" your way into Alton Bay...the sign is back.

Pineedles · 07-30-2007, 09:23 PM

I love your avatar!

Pineedles · 07-31-2007, 09:15 PM

It's 5-4 Baltimore and I'm not too upset, because tomorrow I travel up to the LAKE! My two dogs Reilly and Sam will accompany me and my 2 kids and wife will join me up there soon. TOMORRROW IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE THIS YEAR!

Rinkerfam · 07-31-2007, 11:46 PM

Starting to seriously think about our week in paradise from Aug. 11th through the 18th. We didn't take a vacation last summer, so this one is sure to be extra sweet. The boys are stoked, and little Meredith will be spending her first vacation at and on the big lake. I'm smiling just typing this

BBS2 · 08-01-2007, 10:43 AM

Pineneedles...thanks for the compliment, she was about 4 months in that picture. She's actually a Golden.

I love the sign at some of the shops that says
" If you're lucky enough to be at the Lake, you are lucky enough"

Amen...we'll be there by 1700 tomorrow

Excellent name!

Alton Bay Bob · 08-01-2007, 11:20 PM

My favorite sign that my sister gave me and is hanging over my mantle is

"I feel more like I do now than when I got here"

It takes a few days ...... but.......... after a few days in this heavenly place.. you "get it"

jceria · 08-03-2007, 07:32 AM

We own 5 weeks worth of timeshares.
1 week in Orlando (mistake)
2 weeks in S. Africa (never been, just trades like crazy)
1 week on the Cape (late Sept.)
1 week in Wolfeboro at the Windrifters's Yacht Club.

I look forward to the Windrifter the most! It's on the lake w/ slip for the week.
We bring our 18' pontoon boat with us. We have Memorial Day week. It's nice and quiet during that week. The lake is a little cold for swimming though.

AC2717 · 08-03-2007, 08:45 AM

It is finally here at 3:00pm I am off and up to my cottage for the next week and a half- see you up there!

She's 18 ... and still feels like it's "her" town!

I wonder if Weirs Gal would entertain renaming Weirs Little Gal.....

I hate to say it, but my family and I are off for a week to Washington State for vacation tomorrow. Its funny, you all are coming here, and we all are leaving....

JerseyGirl · 08-06-2007, 03:46 PM

Well, the long awaited and much anticipated week is over.

Returned to NJ yesterday. Had a fabulous week of SUPERB weather - thank you all for blowing those rain clouds away. Read a few books. Cooked and ate a lot. Spent time with the grown up kids. It was great. No TV. No makeup. No work. Reconnected with "me". Now back to the grind until next year - but at least that is something I'm lucky to look forward to. Enjoy the lake for all of you waiting to go. the water is WARM and the loons are calling.

John A. Birdsall · 08-10-2007, 10:42 AM

Those that had their vacations in God's country for the period of 7-27 thru 8-5 had the best weather that can be had, I was there and could not believe it. Water temp aabout 74degrees, air quaility could not be touched, but where were all the boats mon thru fri? I think I saw more kayaks that week then I saw motor boats.

jerseyonbear · 08-12-2007, 02:54 PM

Just returned after a fabulous two week stay from the 29th thru yesterday. Don't think we have ever been in the water as much as this year. What great weather. Now we wait another year and get our lake fix from the cams and the forum. Just wish there was a way to get the clear pine scented air on the web. Now it's back to work and air conditioning (ugh)
