Visting Family-Mother's Day

If there is one thing I hate is forgetting my camera when we go somewhere. I hate even more when I remember my camera and then forget to take pictures! Geez, what a ditz LOL! This weekend is Mothers Day and we are heading to Burnside Kentucky where Dennis family lives. Burnside is a VERY small one traffic light town but boy does it have alot to do. Burnside to me is an extension of Somerset Ky which I will also write about soon.
Burnside Kentuckys claim to fame is beautiful 63,000 acres Lake Cumberland, which is a huge lake that spans 111 miles across several counties in Kentucky and supplies boaters with a large array of boating and swimming activites. Burnside Marina is a full service marina, where the avid boater can purchase gasoline, groceries. They also rent pontoons, ski and houseboats for the day, weekend or week.
Located just about 1/2 mile away from the marina is General Burnside Island State Park which houses a boat ramp, community swimming pool, shaded picnic and playground areas,18 hole golf course along with a 94 site campground. The campground has two general service buildings which include showers, restrooms and a dump station.
Dennis grew up here in this beautiful quite town and ironically I use to visit here with my family from Ohio on summer weekends to boat on the lake, even tho we never met,it makes me wonder just how many times we crossed paths as kids and as teenagers.
