Month away to Cali...

Time out. I traveled to CA for month to spend time with the kids and grandkids. Randy stayed with the boat. Since it is hurricane season we didn’t feel comfortable leaving Kwanesum by herself. First season we’ve weathered in the hurricane zone. So far so good, but we have 8 more weeks and September is notoriously busy with storms. And there's one sitting out there now that we're watching. We shall see if we made the right decision to stick it out here…in the Dominican Republic. I tried to get the following post up before I left for CA, but…alas…it didn’t happen. Didn’t get the final paragraph in, the editing done or the picture choosing done. Now it’s ready and posted. The chapter from Rum Cay to the Dominican Republic is the next post. Don't miss it! =) There's a mini video at the end. So cool what you can do on here!

Had a busy time in CA. Visited lots of friends and family and totally immersed myself in being a Grandma. Loved it. Miss all terribly. And didn’t get to see everyone that I wanted, or spend as much time with each as I wanted. Randy spent time with our new friends here at Playa Cofresi and keeping our boat safe from TS/Hurricane Bill. There are several restaurants down our street, and one in particular has become ‘family.’ And of course our marina ‘family’ are so great. More on that in my NEXT post, but wanted to put a few pictures on from CA here.

Now...random photos from CA. Ella's 1st birthday. Kevin and Traci and their group. Kim and Skip and some new favs from their wedding, too. Kai and Austin...BFFs. Making pancakes with grandma. Just hanging out. =)
