SOLD!

Play Dough was sold, had a name change and was moved 350 miles down the TN River all in just a few weeks time. It was almost exactly 3 years to the date from the purchase of the boat in 2008 to the selling process in 2011. Once we got an offer and did a little negotiating, the buyer had his surveyor doing a sea trial and inspection on Jan. 14th. On Jan. 19th, we got good lab reports on the oil samples and the buyer had accepted the boat the following day. We were on the boat for the last time on Jan. 26th to remove our personal items. The new owners were very eager to attain the boat and they planned to spend their first night aboard on the 28th.
We really enjoyed the adventures we had aboard Play Dough and will always remember the places we visited and the people we met along the way. We feel very fortunate to have been able to live out one of our dreams!
Now as we move on to other travels and adventures, we will continue to add to our blog and we invite you to follow us along the journey!

Baby Sitting Job in Montana

Adam, Heather and Abi were headed to Whitefish, Montana for a ski trip and asked if we wanted to go along. Of course we did! We were all concerned about how Abi would handle the airplane flights, but she did great! She even earned a set of wings from one of the flight attendants.

The weather was excellent for sitting in the condo with Abi and watching her Barney DVD, while Adam and Heather carved up Big Mountain on their skis. The lowest temperature we had was 9 degrees and snow totals for the season reached 100 inches while we were there. The scenery was spectacular. We enjoyed a sleigh ride and toured into Glacier National Park while we were there. Montana is a beautiful state!
