Happy New Year everybody. We golfed on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and attended the neighborhood New Year's party in one of the cul-de-sacs and it was a little nippy. Today was rainy so we headed off to the DMV to get our Florida driver's licenses and to register the vehicles in Florida.
Trip Log
We drove home yesterday, a day earlier than planned but we wanted to beat some of the traffic and let the kids get on with their holidays. I-95 in South Carolina was still a parking lot so it took a little longer than expected. We left before 7 AM and arrived home at 11:45 last night.
Another wonderful Christmas. Jeff and family hosted our annual Christmas Eve celebration and it was all that could be hoped for. On Christmas Day as the kids headed to in-laws Alesa and I visited the Goodmans at Shannondell and shared Christmas dinner with them.
This morning we stopped to visit our old Exton neighbors and did some shopping on the way to Jeff's. Yesterday we watched football; didn't like the Cowboy's game but loved the Eagle's game.
We left Florida at 3AM Friday and drove all the way. It was a good trip but tough going around DC and we made it to Mike's at about 8:30. Yesterday was a rest and recuperate day and Alesa took the girls shopping, to lunch and to the movies, The Hobbit. Today will be football.
We wore the Goodmans out so they left, we took them to the airport this morning. Actually we had a wonderful time with their visit and kept busy mostly eating and playing pickleball. We did stand in line to buy Lottery tickets but had no luck, we also drove over to Mt.
Today is Alesa's 65th birthday and the Goodmans took us out to dinner at the Thai Ruby. It was a very good meal then we walked around the town square and enjoyed the music. Earlier in the day Bob and I played pool while the ladies went shopping. And of course we watched football.
Thursday afternoon, Bob and Ann Goodman flew into Orlando from Philly and we picked them up after some shopping in town. They will be staying with us for a week. Yesterday, after they rented a golf car, we went to the Dragon Boat Regatta on Lake Sumter to watch Alesa paddle.
Saturday night we went to the Gilchrist Neighborhood Christmas celebration and had a very good time with the neighbors. We had a Christmas trivia contest and our table won poinsettias for each of us. Monday we upgraded our Directv service to whole home DVR (Genie).
Yesterday we attended a free platform tennis lesson at the Eisenhower Rec Center.
