Valentines Cruise 2003

It was chilly in the Big K parking lot but the day was beautiful:

Lately, Gael and Chaz are used to having the coolest C5 at gatherings such as this; but today:

 

..  Marilyn and Roman Sabadaszka brought their brand new Andy Pilgrim Edition Z06! Wow!

We got underway at 11:30 heading for lunch at the Third Coast Restaurant at Lake Lanier.   Things were going pretty smoothly until we encountered a full-size house traveling our road in the opposite direction.  The local police kindly stopped the house and routed our caravan around it; very nice.

The next surprise came when one (unnamed) member reported a paucity of fuel -- so we all stopped while he gassed up.

It would, I suppose, be wrong/rude to point out the individual responsible for our unscheduled pit stop; wouldn't it? Maybe not..:

Actually, a number of the caravan participants chose this moment for a different kind of pit stop.   Sadly, this particular gas station had only a single unisex one-holer:

We ultimately arrived at Third Coast and had a terrific lunch:

Here are the cars parked outside the restaurant:

After lunch it was a short drive to the Emerald Pointe Resort:

I don't know if Bill Gates is an investor, but this is the name of the main restaurant there:

At about 5:30 we were bussed down to the lake for our sunset cruise on the boat:

I was surprised at how luxurious the boat was.   There were drinks and excellent hors d'oeuvres and great companionship:

Did I mention that it was a "sunset cruise"? Well,.:

There was a party starting at 9pm (sadly, I was too pooped to attend for more than a minute or two -- and left the camera in the room at that).

Sunday morning there was an "on-your-own-schedule" brunch that was quite good:

Is it just me, or does Greg look pretty relieved that it's all over?
