To New beginings



After six months of pondering what is next in life now that our Great Loop journey has ended. Andrew and I found  a house with a dock in the back yard. We are close enough to walk to the Gulf of Mexico and watch as many sunsets as we would like! We are still on the hunt for our next boat while continuing to enjoy our boat. The cruising bug has a hold of us and we will plan shorter trips and adventures in the St. Petersburg area for the next year. Sabastian and Paisley are enjoying swim team and are ready for fall Co-op classes to begin again.

Saturday we had some friends over. Andrew took Sabastian, Paisley, Isabel and Isiah out for a dinghy ride.  We all walked down to the end of Demens Landing Park for a better view of the race between turns 9 and 10.



 



We all had fun playing in the Banyan trees.
