bluegargantuaHi,
So for our "date night" last night, Annie and I rented a canoe and went paddling on the Charles river near Newton/Wellsley.
It was a lot of fun. And although it's been almost two decades since I was last in a canoe, we weren't forced to make use of our life jackets.
I wish I'd done something like this sooner though. I really like being on/in the water. And while I'm not about to go swimming in the Charles anytime soon, it was nice to be out there paddling along. Along with the various ducks/swans/geese, we did mange to catch sight of a heron. There were also numerous dragonflies which made Annie happy and kept most of the noxious insects away.
We also had some quality conversation time when we weren't paddling under I-90, I-95, and various interchanges.
It might be fun to bring along a few extra people next time...maybe get kayaks instead (although the one and only time I was ever in one of those I rolled it like a d20 in a washing machine).
