07.14.2014: Let's Roll....or Ride...or Cruise

THE most bittersweet part of the trip.  Ok, who are we kidding....the saddest part of the trip. Can't even deal that we are on our way back home already.  Seems like we just got here...despite all the fun and activities and adventures we just had! How is it possible that it is already all over already?!!?
 
Brent and the parents took off in the boat to get to the dock to load the skiis and the trailer the boat.  The rest of the crew hung out on the houseboat and did our ritual back in....more cleaning, organizing, and drinking.  Capt Scott drove us in...and did a great job of it, as usual!
 
Our "wine club" had our annual meeting upstairs after lunches were made and all the chores were done. Every year, we take down a couple bottles of cheap wine.  Although our "cheap wine" is getting better and better as the years go...since we plan for it now!  So, we headed up to the top deck for our traditional glasses of wine and pics as we head thru the narrows...  It is IMPERATIVE that we do this year after year.  I don't know why...it just is.  We truly can't wait for this moment...and we appreciate it for what it is...and take it in.  No matter what happens the rest of the year, this is our moment together!  It is special, and I hope our tradition continues as long as the houseboat trips continue!
 
After we get back to the dock, we unload, pack up the cars and head back to the Rio for the closing ceremonies and awards dinner!  Again, can't wait for some showers (and soap!) ... but hate leaving this place.  It's like home....
