"I'm Dreaming of a Sunny Christmas"     Crew Member:   Christine   Date: 12/25/2007   Location: Ft Lauderdale, FL   Photo Album: (2007-12-25) Florida Christmas   Konnor Down the Hatch   A Wee Cottage on the ICW   Another View of the Lotus   Alligator   After a month-plus of time in Georgia, eating turkey with our fellow cruisers and rewiring the boat, we went offshore on a straight rhumb-line to Fort Lauderdale. Not only do my aunt and grandmother live here, but we found out that my mom, fred, my brother Michael, sis-in-law Kelli, and their two kids Konnor and Makenna would be joining us for the holidays! What a treat! As nice as Thanksgiving was, the idea of spending Christmas with family came as welcome news. We spent our week together showing off the boat (Michael and family had not seen it prior to this trip), hanging out at my Aunt Nancy's new backyard tiki bar, opening gifts, exploring the everglades by airboat, and just enjoying the company of family. Check out the photo section for visual hightlights! And a hearty HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of our family and friends! We're missing you!   View Previous Entry View Next Entry   Other Blog Entries: The Last Voyage (10/7/2009) Holiday Hut Trip (12/1/2008) How We Got are Arses Kicked by the Dreaded Mexican T-Pecker (10/4/2008) Tica Tico Taco (9/1/2008) Locking the Panama Canal (8/12/2008) Back to the States (7/15/2008) Lingering at a Latitude of 9 Degrees (5/31/2008) In Search of Red Footed Boobies (4/15/2008) A Bad Case of Swimmer's Ear (4/3/2008) Blogging in Belize (3/30/2008) Isla Mujeres (2/10/2008) I'm Dreaming of a Sunny Christmas (12/25/2007) Turkey Day Networking (11/27/2007) Massachusetts Daytrippers (10/1/2007) Best of NYC (9/5/2007) A Passage to Oriental (6/25/2007) The Great, Wet Retreat (6/5/2007) Mr. Southern Hospitality (5/31/2007) Navigating el Golfo de Mexico (5/26/2007)
