Woke up this morning with this great feeling it is our 6 year anniversary!!!! and I wanted to surprise Todd with a special day!!! I called and made arrangements to go on a kayaking tour today with a company called Black Hills Adventure Tours http://www.blackhillsadventuretours.com.
It is hard to surprise Todd because he always wants to know what we are doing so we are prepared with the proper gear we are supposed to take. It is a perfect day for kayaking in the high 80's sun and not a cloud in the sky I love these days. Grabbed everything we need and we are off to Pactola Lake for the day. We get to Jennie Gulch day use area were we are supposed to meet our guide. Carrie is our guide for the day and she happens to be the owner of the Black Hills Adventure Tours and there was no tour today just her, her daughter and her daughters friends. When I called and booked this today it was free with out VIP pass and she invited us to join her and her family I thought this was very nice of her because she did not have to do that. Carrie is a great guide and come to find out she is very interested in Full-Time Rving when her kids are in college.
She had asked if we kayaked before and of course we have grabber some life vests and off we go on our sit on kayaks I feel way better on this then the sit in kind I am a little claustrophobic. She explains were we can go and tells us what time we are leaving and says we can go when we are ready. The water is so pretty we are on an area of the lake that you can not have motorized boats so no disturbances just the beautiful sounds of nature. I am not the best paddled but I did keep up with Todd he did not expect that at all.
After about an hour we met back up with Carrie and the kids and we sat on the edge of the lake on the rocks edge just chatting about things Full-time rving and how we started and that she is going to full-time in about 5 years we thought this was great. She was on a stand up paddle board and asked if we would like to try it my hand could not go up quick enough Todd not so much lol... I jumped in the water surprising enough the water was really nice and right up on the paddle board I went like I was a pro at it. Off I go oh man is this a blast of course it takes to focusing and the moment I lost focus in the water I was even falling off this thing is fun LOL.... i get right back up again I could not get enough. As the day was drawing to a close we had a blast and headed back to the car of course I was back in my kayak I could not keep the owners paddle board ;-) and said our goodbyes and really thanked her for inviting us with her family for the day it made our anniversary that much more special.
I would recommend if you are looking for any tours in the Black Hills please check out Black Hills Adventure Tours for all your tour needs. The owner is fantastic, friendly and very informative about the area. The website is www.blackhillsadventuretours.com they do hiking, biking, kayaking, to devils tower and the badlands.
We had an awesome day and it is hard to believe it is only 6 years I swear it feels longer. If you would have told me 6 years ago I was going to find my soul mate get married move away from my family in friends I might have told you that you were crazy. Everything happens for a reason and I could not imagine life with out Todd by my side doing this crazy thing called Full-time rving that we started just over a year ago. I fall in love more and more each day and life just keeps getting better and better.
