For those of you who don't know me well, I pretty much grew up on a boat. I learned to ski when I was 8, slalom ski at 13. We went to Lake Powell twice a year, Echo and Willard on weekends. My sisters and I were raised on a houseboat during the summer. My kids are fish.
I know how much fun, and how much work they are, but when I think of all our kids and how much fun it would be to spend time with them all at the Lake...I start COVETING other people's boats! If a boat is stranded on the side of the road, my evil side wants to back up, hitch the boat and hit the lake! Even boats for sale, locked behind gates, call my evil side!
Then it happened, Cami and Jay got a freakin' boat! OHMYHELL! Michelle and Todd got a houseboat! OHMYGOSH (that was for you Chelle)
So I started the pouting, which turned into whining. When my poor husband had finally had enough, he took me to Taylor's Boats. That is the place where I fell in love with the Cobalt 242! Harold was smiling! I was about to pass out from the lovely Cobalt fiberglass smell (It's better than a new car). Then all my dreams were crushed when we saw the $100,000+ price tag!
I know we could finance it and pay a small amount each month, we could buy a used boat, we could rent a boat OR we can sleep with the brochure under my pillow and rest easy at night knowing we are a builder who is still in business during this lovely housing crisis!
Here is a picture of my lovely Cobalt 242. I guess I'll just stick with Royal Caribbean for my boating. I wanted a different color anyway!

OH Man...I hate when that happens. We could develop a plan to steal it....LOL!
There's gotta be something cheaper out there, don't worry we'll get you a boat never fret. Just pull out the bottom lip and bat your eyes and say "I neeeeeed it, I can't live without it." You can also whip out the tears for effect. LOL!
PS why does it cost so much? Is it lined with gold and diamonds?
k Jessa needs to know how you got the music on your blog!! :)
It costs so much because it was a Cobalt. We made a big mistake and started at the top of the boat chain! (The Mercedes of boats)
Harold would buy it if I wanted it. I think he would buy me anything if I wanted it bad enough! For Christmas I want a Cobalt T Shirt!
Jessa...click on my music playlist and it will take you to the website.
That came out wrong..."Harold would buy it if I wanted it."
We don't want to pay $100,000 for a boat :-)
In the meantime, come boating with us! The more the merrier and we need more friends!
