It sure was nice to see the sun today! Another cold front moved through overnight triggering tornadoes nearby and dropping the temperature into the 40s. Thankfully it also blew away the cloud cover. We both packed up all of our cold-weather clothes. We'll need them at home over Christmas and do not want to bring them back with us. Dear Santa, will you please bring some warm weather to northern Florida in January? Two dock carts were packed full and we pushed them to the car. The sun set behind us and cast long shadows on the ground ahead of us. The trunk of the rental car is already full so tomorrow's last-minute bags (and our cactus) will have to ride in the back seat.
Tonight's event at the marina was the Lighted Boat Dock Crawl. My favorite spot was soaking up the warmth around the roaring bonfire. Boats of all shapes, sizes, and styles were decorated. (We did not put lights Crossroads this year, but remembered how good she looked last year.) Equally as festive as the boats was seeing how folks transformed their dock boxes into appetizer stations. There was an amazing assortment of food and beverages along the four docks -- gumbo, cookies, brownies, hummus, cheese, nuts, chips, crackers, sodas, wine, and shots just to name a few.
We will leave in the morning and need most of the day to drive home. I'll take a break from the blog for a while and pick back up in January when we return to Jacksonville. Thanks for following along and warm wishes for a Merry Christmas!
