Hubby is on a mission. He wants a boat.

He's been talking about it for a while now but lately it is really coming to the forefront. Last month on our way home from the water park we stopped in at the Bass Pro Shop and ogled the boats. Then our friends went out and got a boat. He's really been pushing the "family time" angle. Like: "It's something we can all do together" and "Think of how much fun the girls will have". The thing that is really cracking me up right now though is that the wife of our friend that just bought a boat keeps telling me the same exact thing about why they bought one. I asked her if she and my hubby had been comparing notes.

We had pretty much decided that it would be nice but that we were going to wait until next summer for a few reasons. First, because we have already missed half the season and second, because he is deploying in a few months for 7 months.

Now though, somebody on his ship has a boat that they are selling that is very close to what we were looking at and it is a good price. This guy is even going to let us take out the boat for the weekend to test it out. Should be a fun weekend, and we'll see how the boat works out.
