A few years ago, my family and I went on a trip to Lake Kelly. This would be the first time that I had experienced just being outside for a whole weekend with my family. The time that I would enjoy spending there is a time that I will most likely never forget.
The drive up to the lake was about 7 hours. Most of the time I just lied down in our vehicle unbuckled listening to music or falling asleep on top of all our bags of clothes and sleeping bags.

When we took a break from tubing the whole family decided to swim in the middle of the lake. This tiny lake that I did not think could be any more than 20 ft deep turned out to actually be around 40 and till this day is the deepest water I have ever swam
