Charleston family visit

 

Fabulous visit with Tiffany, Chris, and the girls. So much was crammed in a week and it went way too fast. Gorgeous weather, pool time, beach, kayaking, and a birthday celebration for Juliet. She's now a big whopping 7.

Lots of pool time, and I mean lots!

Beach was spectacular. Clear beautiful water and white sand. Lots of people joined us all carefully distanced. This is Florida at it's best.

Tried a new activity - kayaking. Down a pretty river with three doubles. I would definitely do it again.

Jules birthday was a success and really it's because it was done just the way she wanted. She wanted to bake the cake, wanted pooltime, remote control car, barbie from her sister and spaghetti with meatballs for dinner. Hey, what else could you possibly need?

Checking in and how nice it's March. There have been a bit of technical difficulties with the blog - I think all is ok now. Things are definitely feeling a bit more optimistic around here. Maybe because so many people we know have gotten vaccine shots, us included (shot number 2 happening in 10 days). There are an awful lot of people 65 and older in Naples, Florida in general, and most of us have been very anxious to get the shots. It feels like there is a light at the end of this COVID tunnel.

We went to Hilton Head as part of a golfing group from our old club in Maryland. Nice to see old neighbors and friends. Beautiful resort area with lots of wildlife, as in alligators galore. This large boy was right by my golf ball. I did not go hit that one....

 
Having driven to Hilton Head we chose to break up the drive on the way back by stopping in St. Augustine. Such a picturesque old city and we stayed in the same hotel as last year and added a dinner at the darling B&B next door. Marvelous food.

Season is marching along and as it is everywhere, things are not quite what they were pre-covid.. The town is busy but not nearly what is normal as we're missing our international visitors (UK, Canada, Germany). We are enjoying the great weather and feel blessed to be here. Tiffany, Chris, and the girls are coming to visit soon which we look forward to in a big way. Feel so lucky we can see them.
