to go swimming a lot. My grandparents had just bought some land out in Burnet right before they died and had about 35 acres. It is gorgeous out there too. If I moved, I am pretty sure we would move further North in that area....probably close to Austin, but on some land.

Took an RV trip last year and toured around the west, one of my favorite stops was Palo Duro Canyon
outside Amarillo, and also Santa Fe, New Mexico. No trip this year, just had a baby, but hopefully one next year!
Same here. The weather outside is gorgeous, though.
I have almost everything caught up around the house now. Gee, should I go clean something else or read a book outside?
The gorgeous baby
One solution may be one of those swinging bassinet (some vibrate and play music also) or, what I used to do with my boys, propping in a baby swing so that the baby can see you and feels less ignored. If you put receiving blankets on either side and in the front by their stomach they really will stay put. They may also sell props just for this use. Good luck
OMG "Wind in His Hair" - one gorgeous man!!.
Not only is he gorgeous, but eccentric, intelligent, and seems non "Hollywood"
absolutely gorgeous and charming. love him.
so glad he got out of that ashley/jessica/joe family mess. nick was too smart and classy for that obscenely creepy family. Loved seeing Nick cheer on Drew in the audience. Sweet brothers. Love them both but Nick is way cuter.

just drive it into a lake
Just saw The Lake House
It was a little confusing but I realy enjoyed it. My husband fell asleep...yeah, so much for a romantic evening with my hubby!
Lake George NY has the best...
 Hypertype is EXCELLENT!!! 
Mine was also Vermont, on a different lake, and I was 4.
- Lake Memphremagog
We stayed in cabins on the lake, and and there were loft bedrooms for the kids that could only be reached by ladders. My aunt and uncle and two of their kids were there. It was my favorite vacation ever, and I was four years old.
Smith Mountain Lake!!!
Just outside of Roanoke, Virginia - the MOST relaxing place on Earth.
Our family has been going to Smith Mountain for over 40 years!

Right now only 5 days at Lake Gaston in VA - sm
but thinking about a week going to Niagara Falls, its our 10-year anniversary this month and we went there for our honeymoon. I thought it might be nice to go back there, maybe in August, with the kids. Gas will be pricey at $300 I expect, and hotel about $800 for 5 nights/2 rooms at the B&B we stayed at, but have not run it by my DH as yet. Got a lot going so it seems right now; are taking at least two 4-day weekend trips up to PA to go to Hershey Park and Dutchwonderland though, so that may be enough as we need to save now to go back to Disney next summer, so Niagra may have to wait another 2 years!
Well, its a nice size big lake, but not too
big. You have your competing sides of the lake. Basically half of it is in NJ, and other half in NY. As far as I know, its rather a depressed area - not much in the way of work up there, so lots of low to low middle income people. But, that said, they are a very warm community - I lived on both sides, Hewitt, which is NJ side, in a tiny log cabin that was like fairy land. It was so cool. Unpaved road and little cabins in the mountain. Very dangerous roads in winter all around the lake, lots of fatal accidents. Sorry! Big attraction up there were a few bars/clubs scattered around border of lake. So lots of late night DUIs and accidents. That's about all that anybody did up there was drink! Literally. And most of us were bartenders, waitresses, etc. However, tourism really bottomed out up there, so again, times are tough. Great buys on houses, though, if you work out of area. Mahwah I believe is within commuting. Don't know much about schools, but would guess they are so/so. I believe West Milford might be the NJ school district. They definitely don't have their own schools, last I looked! New York side very depressed area - Monroe is nice and close by. Again, if you personally have $$, it would be a great place to buy a nice house on the lake. Boating galore, but sort of crowded. Great ice skating in winter. Very much a small town atmosphere - very rustic and tough in winter. I loved it there, but again there was no income other than restaurant industry. Back then I did not transcribe! Good luck to you! From another Lori!
absolutely perfect 73 in Lake Stevens, WA NM

Does anyone know anything about the Greenwood Lake area of New York?
.
OMG - I have been wanting to go to Lake Tahoe for some time now!!! Tell me more......sm
where did you stay, how fun was it?
I want to go and just chill, do some fishing and boating, and fine dining.....
Good for you....I am so jealous right now!
Perfect here - Lake Stevens (just outside of Seattle) 72 degrees. NM

Lake Champlain "cabin" 5 feet from the water, across
The water was so clear, you could canoe out from the shore 30-40 feet and still see bottom. When storms came up, the whole lake turned GREEN. Gorgeous, cold water, GREAT canoeing and hiking and tennis. Great forests.
Let me add to a good marriage, a cup of coffee while sitting on a deck overlooking a lake at 6 in
the morning - good English-speaking doctors who do a very long pulmonary consult who speaks so well that I have left absolutely no blanks and whose report gave me approximately 150 lines in just under a half an hour. Oooh, how I dream I could have a guy like this all day! 
Saugatuck, MI is great dog friendly place if you want to go N. Try Lake Shore Reality. Google em.

I live in Houston on Lake Houston - (sm)
Kingwood and Humble school districts. We are pretty much in the country where we are, but only about 15 minutes but shopping, 30 minutes to downtown, so you can have both good schools AND country living, or closer in, more like city. In regard to the other poster, I have heard that Cy-Fair is a good school district, one of the best, so I hear - the only problem with living out there is that it is on the west side of Houston and is highly populated, and traffic is horrendous. Even on a Saturday morning, it can take you 15 minutes to go 2 miles.
