We spent four days and three nights on a house boat Greg (Marie's dad) and his family rented. We were a little worried about the condition of the house boat before we arrived at Lake Powell after learning it was a circa 1972. But after getting this old gal out into the open water, we quickly learned that modern amenities that other house boats sported like AC wasn't really necessary when you had an entire lake to cool off in. In fact about every hour or two Greg would stop the boat in the middle of the lake and we would all jump in and swim a lap around the boat to cool off. This was a much more enjoyable way to cool off and spend the day than by riding in AC.
The top of the boat was definitely the most popular place to sleep - cool nights, loads of stars, and plenty of fresh air (as long we clogged the bathroom vents with towels).
At the end of the trip, the boat seemed more than adequate, and a good time was had by all. Now if we could just do something about the captain's hat...
