The timeline for our return trip to Florida, and our floating home, has run amock. By this point we should have been sailing along and enjoying the tropical sun once more. But here we are, watching the leaves turn and the temperatures drop, as we tend to ever developing family ailments. No complaints though, there are reasons for everything. So as we tread water here in the Great White North, there are other adventures to be had.
A little bit of equestrian stuff is always fun. I prefer ATV's personally, but these will do for now.
Then we found a great new daycare so we could have some Mom & Dad time.
And could you believe it snowed up here already?
One of our favorite hobbies is Geocaching. All around the country are hidden caches of gifts and other assorted items stashed in trees, under park benches, deep in the woods, or maybe in your own back yard. The relative positions of these hidden treasures are captured online and via various websites or apps you can access the locations with a latitude and longitude. We grab a hand held GPS or just use a smart device to navigate our way to one of these locations. It's a blast for the kids and great exercise for their elderly parents.
The kids will trade out various items, we sign a logbook to stake our victorious find, and then enter the progress online.
Geocaching can take you anywhere. Some caches are for advanced seekers while others are more intermediate for when the kids are involved.
And then there were ducks.
And playgrounds.
And thats about it for now. New ETA to Florida, early November. Always an eye on the horizon.
