Hume Lake

Hume is the most relaxing place I have ever vacationed. We slept in as long as we wanted, took as many naps as we wanted and basically did a whole lot of nothing for an entire week. Not only that, we were doing it all amid some of the most beautiful nature that you could ever imagine. We went to church, walked the lake, ate together, sailed, made/ate home-made ice cream, slept, watched a small plastic alligator grow (highly recommended you do the same- the incredible growing creatures can be found at the Dollar Tree), sat around the lake for hours, people watched, read Crazy Love, played games, talked, laughed, and slept some more. It is incredibly refreshing to turn off your cell phone for an entire week, never log on to the computer or check e-mail and watch zero TV. Living “unplugged” is something I would like to do more often. Our time together as a family was awesome. We had so much fun cracking jokes, cooking and eating together or just all sitting out on the deck, each of us reading a book. I feel so blessed to have married into such a loving family who treats me as if I have been around forever. It’s always a hoot when we are together!
