Hanging Out with Family

Day 5: Friday, February 26

Today we were joined by our son, Scott, and his Wife, Claire, along with their two sons, Wyatt and Joseph.  They will be spending a week in a time share condo on Marco Island.  They have invited us to spend the week with them and we gratefully accepted.  Claire’s parents, Alan and JoEllen Yeasted are also down here for the week so we look forward to an enjoyable week prior to our heading out on the boat. 

We have yet to put the boat in the water.  Interestingly, there is no place on Marco Island to park the boat so she will remain in the storage area until we are ready for the launch.  Also, parking on the island is at a premium.  We tried several angles in parking but finally took the truck to the storage lot as well and will accept rides in Scott and Claire’s rental car.

Sunset over the Gulf of Mexico from Eagle Nest

The time share is in a huge high-rise complex called The Eagles Nest.  It is situated on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico beach.  We spent a bit of time this afternoon walking on the pristine white sand.  The facility has all the amenities that one could ask for including a heated pool and two hot tubs.
