Final day on "In Tune"....

Saturday morning the boys were still pretty passed out on the couch....but they aren't one for sleeping in, and were up bounding about shortly after this picture was taken....
cereal in the sitting room......
Reading the back of the cheerio box.......
Fishing was soon after breakfast while the rest of us packed up to get ready to hit the road.
Mom and Dad were packing up to leave Sunday morning.....and its much easier to work around in a small space with 4 people and their stuff out of the way!!  They have been watching the websites for the waves and weather for a window to head over to the Bahamas.  Its been a time with some anxiety about the crossing, prepping the boat to its upmost safety standards, provisioning the boat with food and supplies - they have been busy!  The plan is that we are flying out Sunday at noon, and their plans are to leave Sunday morning....so we will see how that shakes loose.  The weather changes on a dime around here.
So, we left for West Palm Beach after saying our good byes.....the boys were full of energy and it was a little stressful on the boat prior to our departure, it was hot, chris and dad were unable to get the wi - fi cords to work (turns out it was a faulty cord), the boys were not listening to well and making the boat feel a little smaller than it was....so we hustled out of there around 10:30.  We got to West Palm around lunch.  We always like to go to Red Lobster at least once during our holidays (or Bubba Gumps)....so Isaac and I shared a seafood plate and chris had his steak and elliot was happy happy with his chicken strips.
We checked in to a really nice Best Western that had a pool in a beautiful courtyard.  The boys swam for hours in the heated pool while I caught up with Susan and Laura on facetime.
Chris slept.  I think he is pretty wiped out.
