Canoe Trip #1.5

Carmela @Carmelanirel2 (8085) • United States 17 Aug 15

Why is this titled Canoe Trip #1.5 and not Canoe Trip #2? Because the marina only had one canoe available and for an extra $5 an hour, we could get a 2-person kayak, so we had a canoe/kayak trip. I choose this photo because it...
