Saturday, April 29 - Our Anniversary!
Jennifer arrives
today! Can't wait to see her.
After breakfast at
a local cafe, we headed to the Farmer's Market, which was conveniently located
on the waterfront. Our haul included local muscadine wine, sweet sweet
potatoes (that was their claim), two kinds of cucumbers, beautiful tomatoes,
pickled jalapeño okra, and pickled peanuts. Yes, you read that right.
Jennifer arrived
around 11:00, it was wonderful to see her. Now we have had all the kids
on the boat with us. She brought gifts for the boat - UGA cooler/stool and
UGA ice bucket that she found at a neighborhood garage sale. That's my
girl!
As with every
guest, we needed to take advantage of Jennifer's car while she is here.
(She has a new-to-her Toyota 4Runner.). We went to lunch first, at a wonderful
Mexican restaurant. We are not accustomed to looking for and paying for
parking!
This downtown
building was an 1800's gentleman's club.
Now for the fun
stuff. I needed supplies for Margaret's smocked romper and had contacted
a store that said they had a watermelon design plate. The store was not
exactly on our route, but we went anyhow. They had the plate, but not the
floss to implement the design. That meant another stop, this time at
JoAnn's. Jennifer was anxious about the time we were losing from our
tourist-ing, but she was a good sport. Next stop, Costco to replace
Danny's hearing aids. We had started checking with different Costco
stores when we were in St. Augustine and couldn't find one that could schedule
a re-test and get the aids back to us in a timely manner. This one did
everything in one day - we left store with a new pair. BUT, it took a lot
of our time. Finally, we were headed back to the boat.
Jennifer and I took
a bike ride looking at all the beautiful old houses.
After cocktails, we
biked to a local restaurant for oysters, and headed back to the boat to enjoy
our visit.
