Hodge Podge Trip to the States Part III


We are back for the final part of the land trip. We left Bronson and  headed back to St. Louis on slippery roads and plenty of snow.
Cloe and I make the snowman body

The finished snowman was really big!
 
It cleared up on the way, but a couple days later we also got a snow storm with about 8” of snow so we had a couple days of snowman building and sleigh riding before it melted.

For Christmas we all drove down to Georgia so we could watch the Nutcracker with our star Madison. She performed like a pro even though one of her other visiting cousins brought a 24 hour stomach virus she shared with most everyone. Poor Madison got it at the end of her last performance but you never would have known.

 We then had a wonderful Christmas with such a profusion of generous gifts it was overwhelming. Eric and family left soon after Christmas and we stayed on to celebrate New Year’s with Aron and his family before flying back to the boat and readying it for sailing.   Jan 2 Aron took us and our mountain of luggage to Atlanta and we were off back to the boat to continue our cruising.
Christmas is done
