Emptiness never felt so good.
The last of the storage units...cleaned out today(7:10pm on 31st as
the sun sets...can't get any later on final day).
It's done...well, we have to unload the truck at the house.
Guess I better start unpacking? No rush...
After taxes... >:)

Bad Ideas
I'm not sure who came up with this marketing idea. Been a few years
since I watched this flick...but doesn't the dog go rabid & they shoot
it?
Seems like having the poster dog for rabies on your food would be a
bad pitch.
Mark & I saw this shopping & got a good laugh from it.

Day on the Lake
we hit the lake for aquapalooza.
First stop was chimney rock.
Em pointing out the rock she'd jump off from...
They could have stayed off the boat longer!
There they go!
Next stop was the concert location on the water.
Crowded fabulous fun!
Alan Jackson was the headliner.

Saturday!!!
Hal called us two weeks ago,
Operation "Hoary Marmot" was hatched.
(Every good secret planning has to have a code word.
Hoary Marmot is a ground hog type
animal found out west...don't ask)
We said we'd love to be a part of it all...
the engagement extravaganza!
The concept was a treasure hunt and adventure.
stepped out of the car...
(which she thought was a Van signal to direct
parking at the cabin!
Dang it, but she saw the bottle.)
(all the details are Hal's idea,
we were the worker ants)
the base of the tree.
Hal labeled all the parts inside the cabin
with creative & adventurous titles-
fireplace was the "cave of fire",
futons were the "Isles of the sleeping bears"
(Shout out to snoring Travis)
We put down a yellow dotted line
that matched the one on the treasure map.
Through the cabin towards the doors
with the curtains drawn.
As you went through the curtain,
you could see the spot.
All details were fabulous-
rose pedals, roses in vase,
heart confetti, red ribbon "X",
pirate's treasure chest.
Lake Martin, the deck, beautiful weather helped too.
Inside the chest was a black velvet ring box with another note...
Emily said yes before she saw the ring.
He designed it...very nice.
Hal still had it in his pocket!
Hal and Emily later in the day at "Aquapalooza"
(I inspired this pose-made them do it)
Welcome to the Kennedy Clan Emily!!
We love you!
Way to go Hal!
I can't wait to eat wedding cake!
I mean...happy ever after too!

Boat Fairy
During the night...
Ok. Not really. Steve bid on a boat on eBay yesterday morning. Won it.
Called Van to go with. Jumped in the truck, drove to Biloxi! Paid for
it. Drove it home.
Now the adventure begins. Who wants to go to the coast!!???!!
(Derek-two motors...that's a LOT if duct tape!)

Early Saturday
We had a mission on Saturday morning!
(Which I will post about later)
Steve, Sophia and I were up EARLY
to head up to the cabin to set it up.
On the way there Sophia was in rare form...
in her Pj's! No time for dressing!
It was a "GET IN THE TRUCK!" moment.

Out to the Cape
On Monday, we met DB & BB for lunch
before we left Enfield at The Country Diner.
(Photo not available...I just forgot to take one)
It was great to see them and
catch up during the off time.
could have said botanical garden.
I saw this and thought what an
arbitrary amount?

on the lens...or creating one.

all the boats in the harbor.
There were a ton of lobster buoy thingys
all over the walls.

View of the harbor from our hotel room patio.
It was a retro place...a REAL key for the room.
Soso like to play with it, the coolest toy ever.

Sophia could only take in so many sights...
before a power nap.
Cute the way that she grabs her ear and toe.
Out cold.

(Not sure, but I think Soso didn't wanted the man
who took this to give back HER camera)
We visited a few lighthouses, but mainly Jeep toured.
On paved roads only-plover had all the oversand trails closed!
So, no permit or off-roading this trip.

We drove through Provincetown
then quickly got off the cape!
Although a short wet trip, we enjoyed it.
Party in Massachusetts
in Enfield, CT Saturday.
She danced a little, smiled a lot, met everyone!
There is actually a DJ playing music...
People talking...having dinner.
Loud, she doesn't care.
(She is wearing a jersey that Al gave her)
