Back East

Posted on June 29, 2015 by azwanderings
Orvis Encounter
My kid brother getting it done

We made the journey back east to Grandma’s house a few weeks back. As you might imagine, it was action packed with an 18 month old. We visited all the usual haunts and enjoyed the company of those we love so much, but only see a couple times a year. I fixed my brothers up with a set of the Orvis Encounter Combos, and we made the sunfish at the cottage pay for it. We ate enough icecream and sweets to make us swear off sugar for a couple of weeks. All in all, there is no better way to spend vacation.

    Looks like fun was had by all, Ben. I do miss that part of the country that I grew up in, but don’t think I’ll ever move back. You didn’t head north and pitch in looking for those escapees, did you?

      It was a good time Jeff, but I agree with you. It’d be tough to head back there and deal with winter again. My brother’s and I talked about looking for the convicts. I mean, 50K is alot of money, but in the end we decided to let the officials handle it…

    Some trick photography going on around here – those fish may not really be as large as they appear in the pic! LOL

    Looks like a good trip! Congrats on the future angler!
