Our day out on Lake Mead
I was going a bit stir-crazy, so I convinced Natalie to get a day trip planned. She got directions out to Lake Las Vegas and pack a cooler, our bathing suits, sunscreen, and a couple of towels. We toured the grounds of the Ritz-Carlton and the Hyatt Regency. Natalie picked up a small piece of artwork for the house, and we stopped at a lakeside cafe to get something to drink. Even though it was extremely hot, it was pretty nice. The lake was smaller than I had expected. I really wanted to rent a see-doo or a small boat, but they did not have any rentals at Lake Las Vegas.
Since we were right near Lake Mead, we decided to go over there. We drove around the south shore of the lake and stopped at every marina along the way looking for a good place to rent a boat for the day. At our third marina, we decided to cool off and get something to drink at the dockside bar. There were a few locals there and quickly we sensed that they were recognizing me. In fact, they had. Chuck and Marilyn Kruse introduced themselves and offered to take us on a boat ride. They seemed like really nice people, so we took their offer.
They had a really nice boat named Serenity Now. It was a fairly large, 2 bedroom yauht with all the bells and whistles you could think of. It even had autopilot! Chuck and Marilyn took us around the lake, and along the way ran into one of their friends, Gino. Gino had a 3 story houseboat with probably 50 people on it. They were having a blast in the hot tub, at one of the 2 bars, or over by the grill. Gino even had a couple of dogs on the boat. We swam in the cool lake water for a little while. The sunset over the lake and mountains was very pretty.
Everyone was so friendly and we had such a good time. Thanks again to Chuch, Marilyn, and Gino for such a great day.
