The first time I ever saw Lake Martin was when Feb and I came to a birthday celebration for my MIL. We were both working and living in DC at the time and retirement was still in the future. Feb decided that we needed to buy our own spot on Lake Martin -- and I agreed (still wasn't sure at that point I wanted to retire here) since no one loses money on waterfront property. At the end of a very long day of looking at houses, the realtor told us that she had one last place to show us and was sure it wasn't what we were looking for.... so of course, it was perfect and we bought it.
Had some work done on the old cabin and for several years, we came a couple of times of year for a week or two. In the meantime, Feb retired (2002) and went to work coming up with a design for the house we would build. When I got the chance to take an early retirement in 2006, I jumped on it and the housebuilding was on for real. Took longer than we thought, but last July, we moved here full time.

Yesterday morning, we took the pontoon boat out about 7 am. The weather was perfect, the lake like glass and we didn't see another soul.
