Before we left I took Ed on a 40 minute walk to get him tired out for the afternoon before Hannah got home after her work shift.

We first checked into our room – it was really like a condo unit, it had a full kitchen (stove, full fridge, dishwasher, sink, etc.) and the living room had a fireplace in it!
![lake geneva 006 Nice!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-006.jpg?w=225)
The views from our balcony:

Then we went on out on the 2 hour boat ride – it was kind of chilly, but they put the plastic down on the sides of the boat and they gave us lap blankets as a gift – nice! Tony and I actually dressed the part! I picked up our hats at a costume shop near us.
![lake geneva 008 I love this picture of us!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-008.jpg?w=300)
They had a full bar on the boat and had a server walk around with apps. I had this beer and it was amazing!
![lake geneva 010 it was from a Wiscosin brewery - so good!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-0101.jpg?w=300)
I had two of the shrimp cocktail – I liked that they were served in shot glasses!
![lake geneva 009 Tony was my hand model!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-009.jpg)
By the time we got to the restaurant for dinner, and we had drinks and mingled, it was almost 8:30 by the time we had dinner – I was really hungry!
![lake geneva 011 beef tenderloin with mixed veggies - the meat was really rare, which I like, but some other people thought it still looked like the meat was quivering on the plate!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-011.jpg)
Once we were situated in our room before the boat ride, we went to the Piggly Wiggly to get some snacks and drinks and stuff for breakfast. I ended up picking up a mutli-grain croissant with light cream cheese and yogurt:
Then after breakfast, I knew I wasn’t going to pass this up! Look at the size of this jacuzzi tub!
![lake geneva 013 it took about 20 minutes to fill up!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-013.jpg)
![lake geneva 014 this was complimentary so I used it! I soaked for about 20 minutes - nice!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-0141.jpg)
I unpacked our stuff, and then stopped by Walagreen’s to order prints for our firm’s photo scrapbook, then I picked up Wendy’s for lunch – I ended up getting a plain potato thinking we had Hormel turkey chili at home, but we didn’t. I ended up cutting up some grilled chicken and added an ounce of cheddar cheese and taco sauce – it was pretty good!
![lake geneva 017 of course I added Tabasco!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/lake-geneva-017.jpg)
Now I have to do my menu plan for the week and go to the grocery store – although cool, a sunny weekend was welcomed!
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday – come back for grilled chicken kabobs and grilled chicken!
Nice trip. So cute you got costumes for the boat trip! You are such fun people! So once the tub got filled that water was cold already!
