Birthday Breeze

A Bavarian birthday was more than enough celebration in my mind, but the friends back home didn't necessarily feel the same. So my celebration continued on a beautiful late October afternoon. Living in Florida definitely has it's perks!

The chartered sailboat outing was something I purchased at one of the fundraising silent auctions hosted by Grant & Baylor's school. Not sure what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised to discover we wouldn't be boarding some small dingy. The tune from Gilligan's Island was definitely playing in my head as we drove to the marina. For some reason, the size of the boat improved our odds in my mind. Also, there wasn't a strong wind that day. Yes, I realize that's not ideal when sailing, but the slight breeze was more than enough for me and the boat.

It was nice to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the company of friends and family. We shared a picnic lunch and sipped champagne. It was delightfully simple luxury. If that makes sense!

 Whoever said, "Life is over at 30." wasn't living the right way or doing the right things! Take it from me, a chick transitioning from the mid to late thirties. Like wine, things improve with age!
