Thanksgiving Holiday 18 to 27 November 2018

Great holiday trip even though I did not take any pictures.  Carey, Maddy and I left home early Sunday, the 18th, and made a two day trip to Jack and Ann’s in Manassas, VA.  We stopped along the way at Dahlgren so I could drop off my computer for an update at BCI.  On Monday Patti came by and we ate a great Italian home cooked meal.  Tuesday was an easy day and included going to a great Greek restaurant in Manassas.  Wednesday Carey and I left for Annapolis, MD and a visit with Lauren, Cynthia, and the grandkids.  We also stopped along the way in Dahlgren to pick up the updated computer.  We had a fantastic visit with the family over Thanksgiving except for the 25 degree weather … where did you say Florida is?  Friday morning we drove back to Manassas to pick up Maddy and enjoyed some more visiting with Jack, Ann, and Patti.  Saturday morning off once again, this time  for Virginia Beach to stay with Karen, an old friend and college roommate of Carey’s.  Two nights there and we decided it was time to get back to warm weather so Monday we headed out for Florida.  Our normal two day transit was uneventful and we smiled as we laid our head’s down in our own bed on Tuesday, the 27th.  Good holiday trip!.

Winter is Coming

It really is pleasant.  Fall is nearly here and the temperature is in the low 80s.  Loving it.  We’re pretty much settled in the new house.  On the 25th of October we invited Rowdy and Chris Rowan to join us for a boat trip from Ft Pierce to Stuart Sailfish Marina in Manatee Pocket.  We were taking the boat down to the Stuart area at Sailfish Marina to get a quote for some winter work prior to setting out on a long boat trip after Christmas.  They joined us and we left Ft Pierce at 9AM for the 20 mile trip south to Sailfish.  Pleasant ride.  I got the quote and we cruised back, stopping at Nettles Island Marina Restaurant Slater’s Landing for lunch.  Great meal.  Back in our slip at Ft Pierce by late afternoon.  Good day.

On the 27th George Cajigal and Polly Parks came from Florida’s west coast for a two day visit.  We enjoyed the Port St Lucie area and each others company.  Great fun.

We’re now planning our fall and winter schedule.  We’ll get a few things done on the boat, travel to Annapolis for Thanksgiving to see the kids and grandkids and then hopefully head out for a good long boat ride.
