June 25

Last day at Seagull--up at 5am to pack up. Quick breakfast and coffee and then a fond farewell to a wonderful campsite and memories of vacation. We paddled in the most calm water we had all trip and made it back to the landing at 8:29am. We packed up the vehicles and set off for first destinaiton a gas station with running water to wash hands and convenience foods like...Osten Mike and Ikes, Brad Chili Cheese Fritos, Anders a Twix and Karen Cheddar Chex Mix. Destination #2 Betty's Pies for Key Lime, Banana Cream and Butterfinger pies. Destination #3 Anchor Bar for yummy burgers and fries. Destination #4 Earth Rider Brewery to eat pie and have a beer in the beer garden. Destination #5 HOME! 

We said farewell to the Weaver-Olsons after destination #3. We arrived at home at 6:05pm (Osten guessed 6:06 so was closest in his estimate) and started unpacking, laundry, catching up with Katie (we missed her so much) and cleaning the funk of a week of camping from our bodies. 

Breakfast--oatmeal Lunch--Anchor Bar Dinner--Steve's Pizza

   

What a wonderful trip where I got a new lifejacket (we were short a lifejacket so I got an older one from Seagull Outfitters for $10) and a lot of amazing memories. 

Some takeaways:

Food: more snacks like dried fruit, protein rich nuts, banana chips, trail mix (cranberry was great). Some desserts for meals (cast iron cakes...), more pancake mix, tortilla pizza on night one.

Comfort/safety: tarp for bottom of tent, tarp for an outdoor shelter for rainy days, raingear double checked, lifejacket for everyone

Clothes: Don't need as much as I packed. Stick to two pairs of pants one of them convertible, one pair of shorts, dry shoes, wet shoes, 2 tank tops, 1 short sleeved shirt, 1 long sleeved shirt, 1 sweatshirt, 1 stocking cap, sunglasses, sun hat, rain jacket, windbreaker
