Stand-Up Paddleboarding!
Okay so finally after whining all summer about wanting to try stand-up paddle boarding I went. The results are in and the verdict is . . . DING DING . . . a success! I thought I was going to fall super ungracefully in the river and come up spitting out all the gooey river plants but to my surprise…
