Departure and Arrival

We have arrived back in the northeast after a pretty uneventful road trip. It was warmer in Virginia than it was in Florida so we slept fine this time, in the back of our van (if we had left the day before it would have only been 42 degrees!). We did play car tag with a couple in a vehicle as they passed us three times waving like crazy and pointing. We weren't paying attention to the people, but were more concerned about what the passenger was pointing to (we even stopped in Jacksonville to make sure sure our kayak on the roof was ok, which it was). On the the last pass, Dave said that the woman looked like his sister, and a few seconds later my phone rang and it was her! What a coincidence and we all had a good laugh about it. Now our house in the woods is opened up, heat and water are on, groceries are restocked, and the rain has begun. Hopefully soon we can get to the yard work, but that amazingly looks to be minimal since we did a lot of leaf removal in the fall. We will be busy though, so for now I will leave you with a cute picture of me and my namesake tugboat that we saw in Fort Pierce before we left. We were head navigator and deckhands for our 90+ year old friends Al and Gloria, who rented a pontoon boat for the afternoon, just before we left the Treasure Coast. What a surprise to see this tug come up behind us...



What a great memorable winter it was!
