We are so excited and nervous for our first big trip!! We are heading about 22 miles south to the town of Poquoson VA. The marina is called Whitehouse Cove. The weather window is perfect for the next 3-4 days! Hopefully we practice many different things to figure out if we like this. I went …
Chad, Bebe and I made it back to VA on Friday. The drive was pretty uneventful and not too bad. We got to the marina about 3 pm so we could check in with the service dept and say hello to everyone. They got quite a bit of the work done…still a work in progress …
There is so much to think about, learn and buy for the boat and this trip! One big hurdle for us was finding the right dinghy. We need to have one if we plan to anchor out at all and especially if we have either of the dogs with us. We didn’t want to have …
Chad and I were able make it to the Great MN Get together on opening day! Haven’t been here since 2019 and we really missed it! We made all the rounds – people watching, trying new beers, watching and getting on the Live channel 4 news and snacking our way thru some yummy foods!
We have known for years that our son Nate, is highly allergic to bees, wasps and hornets…I’ve always worried that I might be too. I was stung someting like 15 times when a friend’s dog walked thru a ground hive when I was maybe 13. I’ve reacted pretty strongly to stings since then. I found …
We are so excited to share that Nate and Megan are engaged!! We knew that he was going to ask her sometime this summer but were so excited when he asked us to help plan the surprise for her at the cabin!! Nate had decorations sent to our house ahead of time, bought a tackle …
This post covers nearly 2 weeks so might seem long but includes some funny stories about becoming boaters! 🙂 After our time at the cabin for the 4th, we spent a few days at home, seeing friends, going to doctor/dentist appointements and reorganizing. After dropping Rocky off with Nate and Megan, we hit the road …
4th of July weekend is always a great time to be up north at the cabin! The whole gang tries to come back from wherever they are, to spend at least a few days hanging out together. We missed Max this year, but he was busy on a ship in the Pacific doing some top …
Tuesday June 21 – Summer Solstice! Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a big movie when we were kids. Neither of us remembers much about the movie, except that there were aliens, the music was fun and the unbelievable finale location – Devils Tower. Over the years, we’ve been nearby and thought about stopping …
Sunday June 19 We started the trek home. The weather in Jackson was very grey and chilly, which showed us a totally different kind of scenic beauty! The drive was long and not real eventful – other than lots of scenic views. We had planned to head north and travel thru Yellowstone. It was still …
