Today was a good day for just hanging out with family, playing with Christmas goodies, and baking an Apple Pie – could that become a St. Stephen’s Day tradition? We mad s request for Phở for dinner and offered to walk to Phở Hòa to collect some of what we consider the best Phở ever! As a bonus we delighted an an amazing sunset along the way. Back at the house we got to see the little one experience his first taste of peas, a wonderful first foray into the world of solid foods!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
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!
So much fun catching up with the blog. Knew of your adventures, but always a treat to see photos!
Thanks for hanging in there while we catch up on our posts!
