Now that John is working at a local restaurant and our boat's topside starts to resemble a cluttered front yard (complete with plastic shovels, assorted game pieces, and a bicycle) it has truly hit me that we are staying here in St. Augustine until hurricane season descends upon us!
I have finally admitted defeat in one of my many mommynag vs. boyswarriors battles..."NO RUNNING ON THE DOCKS!!!" They swerve after pelicans, skid to a teetering stop before a slip's end, and slash at imaginary dragons with delight! I smile and surrender to youth's beauty after locking Dante in his "naggie" aka lifepreserver.
We visited family in Cocoa Beach...returning spoiled rotten by soft rugs, big screen TVs, and comfort food. Honestly in shock by our primitive hull and lack of space. Now, three days later, it all seems perfectly normal again...
Multitasking here in the marina lounge...doing laundry and now I'm up for childcare...that would be my farewell song...
