Bye-Bye Boat

Well, we finally lost our minds and sold our boat. Well, I guess it's more being responsible than losing our minds, but we are still going to miss her. Tim and I bought our boat in 2008 before our wedding and spent lots of fun summers learning the Charleston area rivers and Intracoastal Waterway like the back of our hands. We have so many great memories on the Amber Maria and hate to part with her. At the same time, we are excited to start saving some money to one day buy a house here in Wilmington (anyone want to buy our house in Moncks Corner?) and to maybe adopt an old 4x4 beach truck before that. Since you can drive on two parts of the beach down here, we think we'll be spending much more time on the sand with our little sea turtle than on the water in the boat. We also know we can't spend all day out on a boat with a toddler and just hate seeing her not being used. We lovingly spent all day Monday washing her - she's going to our old neighbors from SC, so we wanted to hand her off in ship-shape. Here are some pictures of Alex inspecting and washing the boat. (I'm sure he'll be glad for her to be out from under the house ... he'll have even more room to play!)
