One of the delights of our two night stay at Lake Chelan State Park Site #31 has been our proximity to the lakeshore. It has beckoned us out for morning and evening walks. The park offers some wonderful lakeside tent sites with gorgeous views and nice privacy contrasted with the out in the open squished together full hookup sites on concrete pads. Ours was a water/electric site on a gravel pad with a bit of elbow room between us and our neighbors, a back-in site with woods behind us. We did arrive on Wednesday without reservations and had several sites to choose from as long as we planned to leave on Friday to make room for the weekend crowd!
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
