29th Anniversay Celebration

Clif and I decided to treat ourselves to a luncheon cruise aboard the Rivership Romance out of Sanford to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary.  It is operated by the St. John's Rivership Co.  We got there early so we toured the Veterans Park adjacent to marina.  It was a gorgeous day which was needed after 3 days of nonstop rain/overcast skies.  The day started in the low 60's but rose to a balmy 70 degrees.  In the breeze and shade it felt brisk.







It is an old fashion paddle wheel ferry.  You can see the paddles out the back window from where we were seated.  We had a delicious lunch which started out with appetizers of sticky buns, fruit, and vegetables.  Then onto a salad with dinner rolls.  For the main course we chose to have prime rib.  Dessert was carrot cake.  It was a leisurely meal which left plenty of time in between servings to go up deck to catch pictures of the landscape.  The duration of the cruise was 3 hours.

We went down to channel marker 112 before turning around and heading back.



One last shot on Lake Monroe on our way back to Sanford Port.

When we got home, Michael, Valerie, and Chloe were over.  I thought that was perfect because it's always nice to spend your day with loved ones.  Besides, it gave me another reason to take a picture.  Chloe will be 9 months on Valentine's Day.  She is now crawling all over the place, and pulling herself up.
