Boating Around Atlanta: A Getaway From Your Everyday
This post is sponsored by Discover Boating but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
One of our very favorite things about summer is boating. We have spent years on the water and all of our kids grew up on boats. Living in Atlanta, we are lucky to have so many different lakes to choose from. No matter what direction you head from the city there is a lake just waiting for you.
There are SO many things we love about boating, but the one that ranks near the top of the list is the fact that it feels like a mini-vacation every weekend we are out on the boat. It doesn't matter if we are less than an hour from home. Being on the water just feels like a getaway from your everyday.
It's the one activity that we can do as a family that gets everyone involved. We're all together, outside, and enjoying each other's company.
No one is on their phone or iPad because they are worried about them getting wet so it is really just good old fashioned family time.
We love listening to music, cruising around, jumping off the boat, swimming, finding an island to explore, wake-boarding, tubing, fishing and just about every other thing that comes along with being on a boat and out on the water!
Boating is also one of our favorite things to do with friends. It's a great way for parents to be able to hang out and catch up, a great way to keep the kids entertained, and it's a sure way to make sure everyone has FUN!!!!
We have regular lakes that we go to, but most of our vacations over the past 4-5 years have also involved boating in some way or another. We love exploring new lakes and living where we do, we are lucky that there are SO many so close to us.
Did you know you don't have to be a boat owner to go boating? There are tons of options for renting a boat and the Discover Boating site has a boat finder tool where you can just put in your zip code and it helps you find rentals near you! Wouldn't that be a fun Father's Day surprise for your special guy?
If you are looking to buy a boat, the Discover Boating site has lots of tools to help you find the perfect boat for you and they also have such great info like how to teach your kid to wake-board, information on different water sports, essentials and must-haves for boating, and even tips on how to dock a boat. Discover Boating is pretty much has it all. Even as seasoned boat owners, it has helpful tips that we've used!
