It's been a very very busy month, and I just had to share it with you all!



Was the Houseboat Show a big hit for you?

houseboat ExpoA Big Houseboat Event every year is the National Houseboat Expo since it is the worlds largest Houseboat Show. We went
to the show in 2007, and it was a BLAST.

Where else can you get to visit houseboats ranging from 30 feet to over 100 feet, all of this in one place, and in one afternoon?
It's on March 14-16, 2008, in Louisville, KY.

Let us know what you thought of the Show!





The END for now, see you next edition.
