Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum

 

Our morning adventure - The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum.  When thinking of music and the greatest songs, the thought of the logistics -  minimal.  The composer, engineers, band - all just a passing thought.  This museum focuses on all the great musicians behind the artists.  A museum very well done.  Lots of interactive areas where everyone can be the star singing or the engineer adjusting the sounds or be the drummer, keyboard or guitarist.  

                                            The silver and platinum wall.







Tons of memorabilia, anecdotes and narrated history.  This museum was more than anticipated.  I highly recommend!

After a very quick lunch in a sketchy park we headed to Marathon Works.  Since Paul and I had visited a few days ago and thought a revisit with the kids would be appreciated.  The multitude of varied shops and distillery was a no brainer.  The girls "shopped" and were pleased.  I meanwhile managed a few Christmas gifts and more history.

                                                    Sally, the "manager" of one of the shops.



                                                Multiple belts used in the machine shop.

                                        The pulley system of the shop.

After an early dinner we went to the nearby park to expend energy.  All was good until a race between the girls resulted in a face plant and a sudden need for a bathroom meant a return to the house.  Cards, snacks, a movie and bedtime came quick.
                                                    Good luck repacking all those shoes!

                                        Snacks watching Madagascar 3.

The plan - early departure for the kids. 😄

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...
