Lake of the Ozarks

My favorite place to travel in North America is the Lake of the Ozarks. My grandpa owns a condo down there so we go as much as we can each summer. I love the lake. It is so much fun to just go out and spend the day on the boat. We usually have a day when we take a really long boat ride and pack a lunch. We find a nice quiet cove and anchor our boat down and have lunch and then swim in the lake a little bit to cool down. Lake of the Ozarks is about the only place where I actually find time to do some reading for fun. It is so relaxing down there that I can finish two or three books in a week. I also LOVE tubing behind the boat! My little sister and I are the queens of tubing. We would do it all day if we could! The Lake of the Ozarks area also has a lot of really fun restaurants. There is a huge variety and it is always fun to try new places! I have so many memories of being at the lake. My grandparents used to have a lake house at Capitol Beach in Lincoln, and now they've sold that one and got the one at Lake of the Ozarks. They love it because it is where they can go to watch all of their kids and grandkids have a great time. My grandma was sick with ovarian cancer when they bought the place at the Ozarks so they made sure to get a condo that looked out over the pool and the lake so grandma wouldn't miss anything if she was too sick to come down. There is a screened in porch at our condo. I love to wake up early in the morning and just sit out there and listen to the water and watch people start coming out on boats and jet skis. It's so amazing how smooth the water is so early in the morning compared to 2:00 in the afternoon. I love Lake of the Ozarks simply because it is a great place to relax and have fun with my family. I hope that we will always have a place at Lake of the Ozarks in our family to go to so when I'm older I can take my kids to have the same experiences I've had.
