Hi everyone,
We made it to Lake Ozark, MO Friday evening.
It has been refreshing getting away. Today was particularly enjoyable. We had very nice weather, with the day highs in the 50's and tonights low is 48. We went to a Missouri State Park called Ha Ha Tonka State Park. It was a great outing, it featured a castle ruin, a huge spring fed stream, great hiking and a huge natural bridge.
The weather will take a turn for the worse by tomorrow.
We have our 22 year old van on the trip, we had a bit of trouble with it running poorly. The area is mountainous, so it was not a good situation. We were able to do some tune up basics on Saturday and had it looked at by a mechanic on Saturday, but on Monday the same mechanic worked on it again. It turns out that we probably got some bad gas. We cleaned the carburator and it corrected our problem. The van ran fine on most of the trip down before the difficulties began.
We are staying at a very nice resort. We have a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom condo. The unit has lakeside view and is situated on a steep hill. There are 44,ooo boat docks in the area. It is a slow time of the year, obviously, but the benefit to us is no crowding. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub yesterday, and had the place to ourselves.
We do not have many crazy plans for the week, mostly to enjoy the time as a family. Last evening we watched the movie "Winter Wonderland" in the resort's own theatre. We enjoy showing the kids about the past times when life was a little more simple.
We just wanted to touch base, hope all is well with each of you.
In Christ,
The Haines family
