Rachel arrived on Saturday so we drove to Orlando to pick her up. We took the FL Turnpike since it was the most direct route, but wow...the tolls on that road were unbelievable - over $10! Needless to say, we took an alternative road back.
We took the car over to Hutchinson Island (across the Indian River) to visit the Beach there. Quite a bit of erosion has occurred for those folks and million dollar homes are perched precariously at the ocean's edge. Almost all of them had "for sale" signs on them but I can't imagine that there would be many takers.
The days just seem to fly by with pool, walks, etc. We are consuming books like crazy so it's time to do a flea market run to replenish our library.
Our Christmas will be "light" this year and I'm sure we'll be in good company. With the stock market and economic situation, gifts will be few, I'm afraid. But we're so lucky to have this time to fulfill this dream and that's the best gift we could ever receive.
Paige arrives on Christmas day so it will be another trip to Orlando. We're hoping to stay for a couple of days there to take in some sights before returning to the boat.
Merry Christmas to you all!
