Spring Break - Lake Powell

Maximus loves to see nice places. That is why we took him on our spring break to Lake Powell. When we were thinking of where to go for our spring break, a friend recommended Lake Powell to us. Not knowing too much about it I looked it up. Lake Powell was an easy decision after that.
So I began recruiting people and putting together prices. I knew we would need a lot to put it all together, so I searched every option. After I assessed the prices I started seeing how many people we would need to make it cost effective, yet still not too crowded. I ended up with a perfect number of 8. It turned out that we ended up getting a rental car , houseboat , and a speedboat for eight days.
It took a long time to get there all the way from Kansas, and it was quite a trip packed in the Dodge Caravan with eight people and the dog, but it was fun. We made some road food and stopped only for gas and bathroom breaks. Once we started getting closer the scenery was beautiful and we kept getting more and more excited. We could see all the beautiful colors and canyons, everyone was bouncing around in their seats! We finally got to where we could see the lake and it was on!
We got on our houseboat that night and went to the nearby Walmart, which was over the dam, so we got to take a good long look at the top of the Grandy Canyon, which some of us had never seen. It was everything and more you've ever heard about or seen in books. The next morning we got an early start on the water and were off. It was the perfect time of year to go, not to cold not too hot, and it was early enough that we had the whole lake to ourselves. We didn't see but 1 or 2 boats the entire week; everywhere we went the lake was like glass, and you couldn't tell where the cliffs ended and the water began, that is until we came flying through the canyons in our speed boat!
It was awesome, we would move the houseboat every other day and take the speed boat into the canyons and on our day trips to sight see. We would go down in some canyons to the point where the boat barely fit, and people we guiding us through with their hands on the rocks so the boat wouldn't touch, SO FUN!
We did everything, including gas and food, for $500 each! That's one thing that you really have to think about is gas on the water, because if you think the on-land gas prices are high, add a couple dollars for being on the water!  As you can see, we had the time of our lives. We rented a houseboat, speed boat, and car to get there had the best spring break ever!
