Returning to the boat - 12/21/10

What a whirlwind trip ... we left the boat to return to WV on 12/7 which took 2 days travel. After trips to get haircuts, we celebrated an early Christmas with our sons on 12/10 , attended our yacht club Christmas party on 12/11 then left for Germansville, PA on 12/12 returning to WV on 12/14. Several doctor appointments on 12/15, had dinner with the Hanna's on 12/16 and made plans for them to join us later on the west coast of Florida then had dinner with the Weese's on Friday 12/17 and made plans for them to join us in Florida. Ricki also worked in a pedicure and massage on Friday as well. On Saturday 12/18 we left for Raleigh, NC to celebrate Christmas with the Hadley clan and left this morning and are currently about 60 miles east of Tallahassee for the night and will be back on the boat in Port St. Joe by tomorrow. We need to get back so we can slow down and rest although being with all the kids and grandkids is really special. Of course being in 65 degree temps instead of 25 degree temps is also a plus. Don't miss the snow either! Now we will have several days to drive around and enjoy some of the sights of the Florida panhandle that we have either missed or will not get to see on our watery travels. The staff at the marina is sponsoring a looper rendezvous 1/7 thru 1/9 so we will not be leaving until 1/10 to start our preparations to cross the Gulf for the western part of Florida.
