The Park
We went to the Free City Docks in Elizabeth City today. It's really nice there, you can actually keep a boat there for 48 hours for free. They don't have electric or anything but they do have wireless connection that is free. During the summer they have Rose Parties. Not sure what that is all about but it was on something that Charles Kuralt reported on it. People get together and talk about boating while having wine and cheese. It's popular. Been going on for years.
We didn't stay long .... It was sooo cold there when we were there the wind was blowing. We only stayed about 5 minutes cause I felt sorry for Tom, he was freezing in his T-shirt and shorts. I couldn't resist... Instead of telling him I felt sorry... I said.... "Told ya So"..... I never could resist temptation.
Here is a link to the Harbor Cam that they have running 24/7 - right now they have having issues with it. but its' great to sit and watch it. Maybe if I get that job you will see me there at lunch time everyday walking. I would be working right there on the river's edge. It's nice to know I can take the laptop there at lunch and work online. :)
Elizabeth City Docks. That poor guy in the sail boat was having a rough time standing, the water was so rough and rocking the boat all over the place.........
You can see the white blocks in the red bricks, each slip is dedicated to someone and each has a different name. It was pretty cool.. I didn't take much time to read it, it's hard to read with your teeth chattering.... It's hard to focus when your eyes are chattering too......
Looking out to the River.
This marina we are at needs this dog on a leash sign.. Yesterday a dog jumped out of a boat and swam across the marina to get to Boodles...... Seriously, if you have a big dog, you should be able to control it.
There is a bar/resturant in walking distance. I do notice allot of people sitting on the seats watching the boats during the day. Next nice day we may just do that. First thing Tom looked for was the "beer" then can the dog go? Oh Dear Lord......
After we went there, we came back home and called it a day. We had enough together time for this day.
Guess probably Tuesday we are heading back to Charlotte.(More together time).... He will be taking the El Camino to the car show. Tom will spend his 2 weeks, I will head back here on Wednesday. I just got to drop off something there with the truck then me and Ms. whiney-ass-mutt can come back home. Shell gets him for the next 2 weeks, which doesn't bother her, she will have a list of "daddy-do's" for him to do to her car. And he will be stuck with her dog. Storm which Tom calls Poopsie-doo... He even sings her a little song.. (don't ask- just trust me you don't want to hear him sing that song about Silly Sally, which yes it's silly, but the dog loves it...)
Her dog really isn't a bad dog at all. Storm listens really well to Michelle, but she's big dog, and has a ton of energy. But she is comical. She has the bluest eyes I have ever seen on a dog.. Kind of makes her look psycho.... But she would give her life to protect Michelle. Unlike our Ms. Whiney-ass-mutt.. she would give my life to save Hers and Tom's.....
Till next time ---------
