We are boat owners!

Well, we did it.  We bought our boat.  She is tiny and big at the same time.  Crazy, right?  Well, she is tiny space wise.  Only the dogs can really run around and that is on top of the boat.  But she has tons of storage space inside.  I have tons of ideas as to utilizing that space as well.
Though, physically looking at the boat has really made me realize that I can only pick the things that are really, really important to me.  And staying on the boat for a few days has made me realize that some of my treasures such as pictures will need to be sent to family for safe keeping.  Also, I need a whole new wardrobe.  As a girl, feeling wet and dry at the same time is not nice, especially when you have not been in the water.  I get that it's humid, but it's so much more humid than where I live now! Like crazy humid on a boat.  But I got some tips from some other women who sail so yay!  Hopefully for Christmas my gift can be all new clothes.  I won't need much since you only want a weeks worth anyway.
We had so much fun on the boat though.  The dogs loved it.  They were able to come and go as they pleased.  Though they weren't really going since they couldn't get onto the dock.  One dog did take a swim, but he did that once and hasn't since so cross your fingers he learned that sea water is nasty tasting.  The kids had fun too.  Though I can't wait to go back with toys and games for them since we brought next to nothing this trip.  We stayed on the boat longer than anticipated so the baby had one toy and our son had his DS and we brought the ipads with all of the kids apps available, but they mostly had fun climbing and figuring out how to reach stuff.

My husband had a blast too.  He is aching to get back to the boat as soon as possible.  At this moment, he is trying to decide when it's best for him to give his 2 weeks notice.  We have two options we are considering but haven't actually had some free time to talk yet.
