Steve took vacation this week .

This week was supposed to be full of sitting by the pool, swimming in the pool and enjoying, well, the pool. Due to weather and contractors, the pool is about 4 weeks behind.

This is the current state of our pool house. Its a work in progress and we are excited for it to be completed. The pool sits, a giant rectangle of concrete. However, water is in the near future.

Since vacation week 1 was already planned to be home, we flipped vacation week #2 to #1 and it became a staycation work week. Steve is the absolute hardest worker and he can get more done in one day than I can do in 5.

One day of fun was definitely in the cards and on Friday, we went fishing. Not just any fishing, but with friend, worship leader extraordinaire and Captain Jason Lowe of J. Lowes Guide Service.

We got up really early for a vacation day to meet Jason in Cedar Key at the boat ramp by 8am.

The weather was absolutely beautiful and I had forgotten how amazing a boat in the ocean feels.

The sights were beautiful

We fished for red fish. Did you know they are known for the spot next to their back fin?

We also fished for trout. I was lucky enough to snag a big flounder.

It was a fantastic day and we had enough clean fish for family dinner!

I headed to Jason’s website for his fish recipe

I knew it was good because he had made it for us to eat before!

It was amazing !!!

Thanks Jason for the best day.

Mostly, thanks for your friendship

If anyone wants a great day on the water, make sure you call our friend Jason at JLowes Guide Service.

You won’t be sorry.
