Lake Hartwell

Last weekend we had a wonderful opportunity to go to Lake Hartwell. One of Eric's fellow grad students has a family home on the lake and invited the Philosophy department up to the lake. It was so wonderful to be on the water! Eric and I miss our times on lakes & rivers and we couldn't pass up this opportunity.

One of the best parts of this trip was that we got to spend some quality time with Greg, Val & their new baby girl Isla. She is sooo adorable and was great the whole weekend! I was very impressed that she wasn't fussy or upset at all (I am sure mom & dad noticed a little)!! It was a weekend of firsts for Isla.... first month, first vacation, first boat ride, and first time out of state!

I can't wait to see how this little girl will grow up and what she will become. Val is a talented artist and Greg is a philosopher. Isla is one lucky girl to be the daughter of these two wonderful people!

The weekend at the lake was fun and relaxing! I enjoyed the sun, drinks, conversation, and meeting new people! :) Thank you to Brooke for letting us stay at her family's house.
