Boat Trip

These next 20 blogs or so will picture,,,you got it----Pictures from the coast and vacation scenes. The weather for the most part was HOT,,,but that's how I like it. Perfect beach weather for me. Had the usual auguments with {J},,,Lower the freakin A/C. His concept of perfect camping is all the windows zipped up closed,,,curtains drawn shut. Me I like all the curtains opened and the windows. We have a pop-up,,,A pretty good sized one,,,with tons of windows. And we always have our site overlooking the water. So we are constintly bickering and unzipping & zipping windows. And me loving the warmth,,,hate it when the inside temp is 60 degrees in summer. . I had frost bite when I was a baby and almost lost both of my legs,,,,perhaps that has some thing to do with it who knows. Have to laugh thou- my brother who was camping also is like me,,,,and his wife is complaining about the heat....She said if Bobby see's a breeze, however slight it is off goes the A/C.,,,Yesterday thou we were all sitting on the beach and had our sandchairs partialy in the water when a big breeze came up and brought our temperture down like 30 degrees. From 90'2 to 68 degrees. What a drop. lucky for me and Bobby no A/C that night. Now back to the photo's. We went over to Newberry Port to catch the boat. Newberry is one of my favorite port towns. The boat left right on time and we headed out to sea for a hour and then stopped on a Island. The island was one of the isles of Shoals. If I recall right there are like 7 of them all together or near each other. The name of ours was Star Island. They have a hotel on there and a bunch of cottages. It is manely for retreats and seminars. Any one can go but you must attend the seminars. The day we were there a religious one was going on. The cottages are very rustic but cool. Rumor has it that some of Black Beard's treasure was found there. The one picture is of our boat we took. The other is a artists building. Were they can go to paint and get in the spirit of it. We had a naratted tour of the whole place and that was very informative. I would love to go spend a week there!!!,,,,At 5;30 they ring a big bell on the porch of the hotel and every one in the seminar heads in for dinner. We were on the porch at that time having a cig. { The only place you are allowed to smoke}...And I offered my nephew Johanothon $10 to follow them in and sit with them. He was came to making the bucks so he took the dare---I was watching closely incase some weirdo trade to steal him. He followed them in and walked with every one..about 100 or so people,,,,then he asked a waitress for a extra seat....she said they were all full. I gave him $5 for effort. The deal was go in and sit for 3 minutes,,,,He did good at beginning crashing it. {One of the movies we all watched together was """Wedding Crashers"",,,It was pretty good,,and gave us idea's :>},,,On the boat ride we got to see a Finback whale. It was 50 feet long and wide as a submarine. Was told that is the secound largest whale. Well enough for now I am tireddddd. Back to work on the morrow. My hair has gotton so light it looks like platium blonde,,,ugh need to darken it,,,,back to brunette......Happy Trails!!####### Senior Jokes!Nice to have something to look forward to!
