Best Life

And just like that - the week is over and we head north early tomorrow morning.  Goodbye South Florida - we will be back soon!  Goodbye Marc and Molly - great company, beach trips, BBQ, dinners and card games.  Goodbye Karen and Alan - safe travels and we'll see you back in RI.                                                                 Goodbye pirates!                                                  Goodbye alligator waters! Goodbye airBNB camper - except for the non-functioning oven - it has worked well for us! The car is packed as full as Paul could fill it.  Our back seat has a bit of room left for our cooler and my laptop. The t...

 Thank you Marc and Molly for inviting us to the community BBQ!  Cornhole, live music, a petting zoo and yummy BBQ including brisket, coleslaw, corn bread, ribs, corn on the cob and so much more.  An impressive event. Though the weather threatened (thunder and rain in North Palm), the night remained dry with a nice breeze in West Palm.                                                                   Walking Bella with storms threatening. This morning Paul and I walked the Green Market in West Palm.  With 146 vendors there was plenty to look at and the people watching - epic.  Parking was easy (not free) and the bathrooms were clean (long line though).  And Lennie - I bought you a duck!   Unfortunately the waterfront was blocked due to the upcoming bo...

 Rain this morning kept us inside until early afternoon.  Lots of rain!  For hours!  It was good though since I managed to complete Brianna's birthday photo book before we headed out to adventure golf. Lighthouse Cove Adventure Golf in Jupiter was perfect.  Few people, two courses to choose from, challenging putts and ice cream!  The only problem - lots of water.  The rain left many of the "holes" flooded and even some of the "greens" required putting through the puddles. Both of us landed our balls in this "stream".                                        A real fish tank.                                                  A play on Jupiter Inlet and its danger! Tonight we were able to enjoy a sprin...

 Another beautiful morning and we found another beautiful park.  Plenty of parking (free!) at 10am (yes, we slept in a little bit) and a short walk to the sand.  Few people, sunny skies and a gentle breeze.  The parking area had clean bathrooms, water fountain and foot wash.  Even a playground for the kids.  Another place I would revisit. Just north of Jupiter Inlet there is a multitude of rock formations along the waterline.  Amazing what Mother Nature can conjure!   The sandy portion of the beach was actually quite steep making for a lopsided walk.  Along with deep sand - our walk of just over a mile was definitely a workout! Lunch, a short nap, a game of Cribbage on the deck and we managed to book a plumber to replace the furnace in Lincoln.  Not an easy task from so many miles away.  But fingers crossed, all will be completed by the end of the weekend. A fast game of Continental where Marc won easily and another day has flown by...

 Our choice this morning for a walk - Riverbend Park along the Loxahatchee River.  With more than 10 miles spread through 5 different trails, we had lots of choices.  So we chose randomly.  A great place to walk (even walking in circles!).                                                            Trails were crushed shells and very well packed.                                                                                A few bridges.                                  K...
