LakeFest and Boat Races


Last Saturday, Jeff and I were going to drive to Johnson City, maybe on to Fredericksburg. While passing through Marble falls, actually crossing over the bridge that spans Lake LBJ, we heard them...even with the windows up and the radio on...what you ask? Racing boats! Really fast racing boats and Jeff loves speed in cars, boats, motorcycles (you get the picture!)

After the somewhat legal U-turn, we found a place to watch the races. A one fourth mile course, with the really fast boats finishing in under 7 seconds!

Lots of people, food and fun...but it was really hot! After an hour or two, I was read for lunch at Chili's in the wonderfully air conditioned dining room!

Marble Falls is a great place to visit, so if you haven't been, head on out!
