We had a wonderful time at Lake Palestine last weekend, in fact it was so lovely, we decided to claim it as our Ground Hog/Valentines celebration - let the inflexible romantics wait for tables on the actual date ;-> 

The weather was perfect and we followed the itenerary I planned with ease.  We didn't get away as soon as I had planned, but it still worked in our favor, because we beat the crowd and were able to check in and get the exact unit we wanted.  Ours faced the water and was more secluded than most.  Since we got to the unit earlier than usual, I opened the sparkling spumante and we sat on the patio and toasted the beautiful sunset, and the good time we anticipated!
