We arrived at the hotel on the lake at I think about 3p and check in was at 4p. We were able to be checked in early. Then had lunch-dinner at Dockside, which is the hotel restaurant. Mom went back to the room to rest and the rest of us walked around the “Main Street” which was decorated for Christmas. Both JK and I were taking various pictures with are camera. I am taking mostly seanic pictures and JK was taking more street photography.
We went into an Irish store and DD saw a hat that he liked that looked like the kind of hat Uncle Pete wore but it was $80. So he was not going to get it. AD came up to me and said DD really wants this hat and we should each pay half. So we did. Merry Christmas DD. I took a picture with DD and his new hat with a nice bokeh of blurred colors in the background and posted it on Facebook. So far it has 50 likes from my friends and his.
We then came back to the room to hang out until the cruise on the lake. The cruise was scheduled for 7:30p. We arrived to a roped area that should have been filled with people lining up but no one was there. Except one worker guy which told us that it was cancelled due to the wind. We found out later that the coast guard had cancelled it.
So we went back to Dockside and had dessert. Then up to the room to sleep. We did not a good sleep. You see we were all in one room with 2 double beds. AD and JK in one, Mom and I in another, my nephew on a patted area on the window ledge in front of the window and DD on a couch like thing (which he later put the cushions on the floor and slept there.) DD and I both had these things to put in our nose to stop us from snoring. Well the did not work. It toned down DD’s snoring but not stopped it and did not stop mine. AD woke me up to tell me. So I went to the chair in front of the window, put my feet on the table on pillows and slept there. The bed was too hard anyway. Apparently, I slept better than everyone in the room except DD. I travel with DD many times so I always had my ear plugs. Mom got the least sleep. AD and JK got some. It was an interesting experiment. And it failed.
