Good Morning all!
I just stepped out on the landing to gaze at the marina and listen to a very chatty squirrel. It's 48 degrees right now and going up to 57 this afternoon. I'll be unhappy to leave here tomorrow, but maybe I'll come back to the island in February if the snow keeps hitting my state.
A few boats still have some colored Christmas lights on them. I always enjoy seeing that as it is nostalgic for me, as it was a long time Navy Christmas tradition (at least in the old days) and I was a Navy wife for so many years. Seawater may be in my veins also as father and grandfather always kept boats and great grandfather was a ship's captain way back when.
The girls are sleeping peacefully. They picked up all the toys last night and stashed them on the sofa and coffee table, so I wouldn't step on them. Then I cleaned and cut up a carton of strawberries and said enjoy. They ate the whole bowl, but it really was just the small box so not too many.
This morning I'm going to make them an egg breakfast and I have to get creative with that.
Later on I will pack up the van with most of our stuff, and wash all the clothing that has been worn. Then when they get home only travel clothes will need cleaning.
I think I'll give them some pool time in the afternoon. The van will need gas but I'll do Sam's Club on the way out tomorrow. Early this week I stopped by Auto Zone and bought windshield wipers. I had tried to use the old ones on the way down and they were less than useless. We had barely driven this van in the last year and a half. Just enough to keep it functional, but people rarely turn on wipers unless it is raining or snowing when they are driving, so I didn't notice.
Hope all are well! I did look to see if there were any rooms to extend my stay a few extra days through the weekend, but no, all rooms seem to be taken on the website. Lots of hotel rooms on the island, and I have lots of hotel points, but with the girls, the villa is so much nicer. I think I've spoiled myself.
Everyone stay safe and well!
@easyas123 - have a safe ride! If you leave Friday morning I'll probably pass you somewhere in Virginia if that's how you go.
