Christmas was very quiet at the Badger house, just John and I. We opened our presents and our Christmas stockings... a nice day! We went our to dinner later that day with some friends of ours John, Mary and Liz. What a wonderful dinner we had. The food and the conversation along with the wine were great!! A perfect way to spend the day.
New Years Eve and we went to the Yacht Club to celebrate. Vicki (a friend and club member) made the decorations.. it was a Chinese New Year! She even made the Chinese gate at the entry way... she is so talented!!!
It was a fun way to bring in 2010.On January 3, John and I went on a Royal Celebrity Cruise on the Ship Solstice. During the summer we had talked about it and several of our friends ( Jan & Chris, Kathy & Skip, and Courtney & Gary)wanted to join the fun.... the eight of us sailed off from Ft. Lauderdale.
We made stops at Puerto Rico, St. Marten, Tortola and Labadee, Haiti. The weather was not perfect but the company was great! Once again we laughed and ate and drank lots of wine... we are talking about doing this again next year! The photo to the right was taken the first night.. here we all are in the Martini bar, the last photo was on the last night in the speciality restaurant. The ship was beautiful. It was still in its Christmas finery when we boarded...so beautiful!Back home again and the planning can begin for the RV trip this summer... it will be time to pack up and leave again before you know it....
We bought a new car to tow behind the RV... a Subaru, Forrester. We traded in the Convertible... I will miss my little care but I was ready for a change... It does have a sun roof.... and it will hold lots of wine!!!!!!!
Well, that will catch you up on the travels of the Badgers......
Hope that everyone will have a wonderful 2010 and I will be blogging again this summer with more travels and new adventures.... until then.....
