With Olivia at UNCG's Music Camp, we decided to do something fun with the rest of the kids. We went tubing on the Dan River! We brought our friends' son, Jonathan, along with us.
Everyone got their own tube and we brought a rope to tie everyone together so we wouldn't get separated.
It was such a peaceful ride. With the spring rains well behind us, the water level was a little low in places, but still high enough to make the trip at a leisurely pace.
We paid a little extra to bring a raft for our lunch cooler.
There were several places along the river where we could stop and explore the shore and river without the tubes.
There were some really cool areas where the rock formations along the shore were overhanging the river.
Some of them had neat holes worn in them. We kept expecting to see something come crawing out of them.
After 3 hours, we finally reached the end and climbed back out of the river. This is something we really need to do next year!
