Home sweet overpacked boat.

We made it! And then we filled it.

Andy had such a great vision of bringing things aboard a little at a time, carefully unpacking and stowing, and then going back to the car for more. Silly Andy. All at once, he needed to change into shorts, Violet needed scissors and paper to make snowflakes for decoration, Lily needed her flip flops and I needed the linens to make the bunks. Blammo! The car barfed all of its contents into the salon. We’ve been trying to climb out from under it for the 18 hours that we’ve been here.

We did cozy into our berths in the end, and I began my favorite part of any nesting project: organizing. Progress to follow.

The girls' nest.

  1. So good to hear you all made it safely, tired but in good humor. Our New Hampshire mornings don’t officially begin until we’ve learned of the Allens’ latest adventures update. Your unique sense of humor Susan, coupled with clever word twists and good photos, evokes laughs and discussion over our morning coffee.
    Reading your blog is more enjoyable than even the “Circus” surrounding us in pre-primary New Hampshire. (The Circus is also a terrific new show on Showtime – Sunday’s at 8:00 PM) Diane and I are going to as many candidate events as time allows. Friday morning we saw the Donald. He was entertaining, while saying virtually nothing of substance. To his credit he did ask me questions about my suggestion. But neither he nor his audience are as enjoyable as your daily blog. So keep it up. Fair winds.

  2. Wish I was there to help you fill all the containers you bought! One of my favorite things to do as well and I’m doing it in my house on an ongoing basis. We love your posts – always entertaining and sweet. xoxo
