Rob Havey's photo of Dave & Helen's boat

Even though it’s warm down here in Florida, the holiday spirit is in the air.  Our good friends Hippie and Blondy (aka Dave & Helen) invited us on their boat as they participated in the Indian Rocks Beach Boat Parade Saturday night.  Ann, Scott and Andy joined us on this three hour tour…yes at least a three hour tour.

It was a beautiful night for a lighted boat ride.  We went in every little finger around Indian Rocks beach where everyone in the town could view the parade from their back yards.  We took several pictures and many of them weren’t too bad considering the low light conditions and we were on a moving boat.  The only picture we didn’t capture was Hippie and Blondy’s boat.  Thank goodness for others on shore that took some great shots and posted on Facebook.

We blasted Brian Setzer’s Christmas album.  We kept repeating it over and over as that was the peppiest album we had on hand.  The song of the night seemed to be Jingle Bells…”He’s Dashing!!!”  We all had a great time.  Even though Andy doesn’t want to admit it, we know he had fun too.

Congrats to Hippie and Blondy as they won 2nd place for their boat.  Also thanks to them for including us as they get us out and about to experience new and exciting things!!
