Whisper Cove Marina Christmas Eve



Happy Hour before Christmas Eve dinner at Whisper Cove Marina

Delicious Christmas Eve buffet......Yum!

We were so excited to be in the water before Christmas! We decided to do something special so we made reservations for Christmas Eve dinner at Whisper Cove Marina. The couple who runs the marina are from Montreal and they cooked an incredible variety of food for their buffet. We had ham, turkey, pork ribs, meat pie, scalloped potatoes, several salads, and fresh bread. For dessert they served sugar pie and apple pie. It was all so delicious! They also had a local guitarist playing Christmas music during our meal. We met some new friends and really had a wonderful time!

Christmas day was all about relaxation and fun. We opened presents first thing in the morning, and then we baked sugar cookies. Since we only have one cookie cutter they were all in the shape of a Christmas tree, but that didn't matter, they were yummy anyway! We gobbled them up in no time! We also watched the movie "Elf" and just hung out on the boat. Great day.

I am sure you noticed that there are no pictures of New Years Eve. Well, that's because we didn't do anything on New Years! We tried to stay up, really we did, but bed time is so much earlier on the boat. I woke up at midnight and listened to the fireworks, but we couldn't see them since they were around the other side of the island. Oh well. HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! 2011 is going to be an incredibly good year.
