So now that it is Labor Day Weekend, the summer is coming to a close and Fall is almost upon us I was sitting here wondering what great memories, events, or fun things everyone had for the summer of 2013. Hope to hear other stories and see some photos.

Guess I will start. Late spring I meet a beautiful, loving girl named Laura. Since then she has moved in with me and helped to make my house transform from a shell to a home. I have not gone on a vacation and or long weekend for probably 9 years + so the first week in August Laura and I along with her family went to Put - In Bay ( South Bass Island ) 5 days and had a total blast. Below are a few highlights of our trip.

Laura and I at the Round House.

The Beer Barrel Salon with the "Worlds Longest Bar."


Coming in on the Jet Express is Perry's Monument.

Looks like you had a good summer RD.

Highlight of my summer was the TOO outing. I don't have any pics as I was sworn to secrecy and not permitted to leave with evidence lmao.

Actually, I was just enjoying the time way to much and never crossed my mind to take pics and I was having way TOO much fun.

Glad to see you found a good woman RD!

Our summer has been pretty quiet. Seems like every time we wanted to get out and do something, it was either raining, or some other family emergency popped up.

Some beautiful photos there! Besides regular fishing trips to Catawba the only thing I did this summer was an extended camping trip in Irwin Tennessee on the Nolichucky River for white water rafting. Then more camping at a music festival in Manchester, TN.

You guys went to some beautiful spots for sure! :D

Seeing my boy grow up has been so awesome this summer. So many funny and cool things he does and memories we made, honestly couldnt put into words how special its has been. Also, I did a hell of a lot more fishing this summer since Dad gave me the boat. Taking different buddies out and filling their freezers with fish has been a blast. Now they can host me for fish fry's for a change

Glad you have found someone worth spending quality time with, Jeff. Nice pics too!

I went through my phone looking at pics. These are the highlights of the summer that popped out at me.
1. My daughter won the local fishing derby again, as she has every year since she was 4. She was 15 at this year's event. 2. Mason got to hang with Hoot for a bit at an OSTA shoot. 3. Met up with Mom and Dad at Chatauqua Lake in June for a few days of fishing. 4. Took the family to a fishing hole in N MI in July. 5. Mason, my buddy Dan and I went to Lake St Clair in August. 6. Nothing signals the closing of summer like the bang of shotguns in a dove field. 7. The nail in summer's coffin is the first cool morning squirrel hunt.

Nothing better to spur ya on than a little looking back, good thread, Jeff!

Forgot about this; coached a good group of boys this summer. We finished 2nd:(. We did a lot of shooting and fishing around home too. Dang, I wish it were June all over again!
