It's been a while since we woke up super early and were actually
excited to be awake before the sun. We had a very important destination to reach today, so it was not only totally warranted, but highly anticipated!
We loaded up, climbed in, and took off..... TO CUMBERLAND! :D
 |
| loaded up and car ride crazy! yeeeeshhh haha |
We rolled into the parking lot at the bottom of the switchback hill, where it wasn't long before Mike and Esther pulled up next to us. The four of us got a head start on dropping in and drifting over to the main office to get introduced to the houseboat on which we'll be spending the next three and a half days!
 |
| hello houseboat! |
What a
fun little hideaway! I mean, it's basically a double wide on pontoons, but there's a hot tub and a waterslide on the top deck, so... yeah..
 |
| seven year old cori is extremely excited about this... |
We just started getting settled in when Kenny and Taryn appeared up on the bank, and before long, they'd loaded their boat and weekend gear into the houseboat as well.
 |
| snack corner assembly.. haha |
 |
| on board with this guy! ♥ |
We each staked claim to cubbies for sleeping, setting one aside for Tawny and Ryan. The Cumberland staff eventually came to escort us out of the cove into the open waters.

We cruised for about 20 minutes before we found a spot to anchor up to a shore and took advantage of the time to unwind and settle in..
 |
| here we go, cumberland! :) |

We've all been driving all day, so as the sun starts setting, we'll be unwinding and probably calling it an early night. Tawny and Ryan will be here somewhere around midnight-1am tonight, but with any luck, some of us will be asleep by then ;).
For now, we're here in Cumberland, and ready to go!
Seeeee ya tomorrow!
