We started off our adventure with a 24 hour drive from Nova Scotia to spend a wonderful Christmas with John's family in Ontario.
Annie and Schooner travelled all snuggled up together and we were lucky to have good roads the whole way!We attended a lovely Christmas Eve Church service and then Christmas Day Dinner followed by a fun white elephant gift exchange a great dinner and lots of laughs!

While we were in Ontario, Dixie tried to learn to play pepper, got some great new recipes and found out a lot about John's Family History! And with Skype we were able to see and talk to all the family and kids and Grandkids over Christmas as well!
It was a really fun week and we were so glad to have been able to spend it with family. Next we drove to Ohio in time for a fun New Years with Dixie's brother Derek and Family, then kept driving until we finally arrived in Myrtle Beach January 4th where John and Brian had left Simplify.
We arrived just in time for record breaking low temperatures. So much for our attempt to escape winter - who would have thought it would have been colder in South Carolina than Canada? Despite the COLD, we enjoyed our time getting ready for heading south.
A big thanks to Mom Apfeld, for her hand-knitted hat gifts! They sure came in handy!
When we got to Simplify, we opened a wonderful gift that had been delivered there for us from Daniel and Erin. We feel like we are on a yacht wearing our spa style "Simplify" robes.
Now we are ready to sail off in style with our trusty mascots Annie and Schooner.
