Hey y\u2019all! I\u2019m back from quite possibly the busiest weekend of my life! As you saw, Thursday we drove the 6 hours to Washington DC. I had never been to our nation\u2019s capital and was excited to explore, but what brought us up that way was the Annapolis Boat Show<\/a>. It is the oldest and largest new, in-water boat show in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

David and I have a bit of dreamer in us and couldn\u2019t wait to explore the beautiful sailboats. We figured one day would be enough to see it all. HA! I knew we miscalculated when I saw dock after dock packed full of boats. There were easily 100, probably more. Knowing that we only had 1 day to fit as much in as possible, we strapped Hailey in the Ergo and went for it.<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend focused on sailboats. Before you think I\u2019m fancypants, I\u2019ve only been sailing once in my life. It was on a 39\u2019 monohull on our honeymoon —<\/p>\n

\"honeymoon<\/a><\/p>\n

It was beautiful, but pretty cozy. Above is the \u201cshower\u201d which was a spray handle with zero water pressure that I showered with over the toilet.<\/p>\n

Well, boy was I in for a surprise at what the boats we saw this weekend. Think condos– floating on water. Seriously, check out this shower! (Not over a toilet, may I add)<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

My favorite part are the kitchens (or galleys, as they\u2019re called in sailor-speak).<\/p>\n

Can you believe these beautiful kitchens are on boats?!<\/p>\n

Some catamarans (two hull sailboats) are set up with four cabins, 2 in each hull, while others have an entire hull dedicated to being a master suite.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re my favorite \"Smile\"<\/p>\n

OK, so the above master is cheating in comparison to the one above it since it\u2019s in a monohull, which allows for a much wider room.<\/p>\n

After a busy morning, we needed lunch. And a beer. And to strip Hailey down to a diaper for another layer on sunscreen (it was HOT).<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

We weren\u2019t the only ones who needed a break and we enjoyed chatting it up with other friendly sailing enthusiasts, many from Montreal. Loved their accents!<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, we were back at it.<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

It was incredible. After seeing all the boats we were most excited to see, we ended the day on 66\u2019 catamaran called a Gunboat. I seriously felt like James Bond.<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

We lucked out ending the day here because we experienced a breathtaking sunset while hanging out on the trampoline over the ocean.<\/p>\n

\"Annapolis<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a perfect day. It has nothing to do with healthy living, but I wanted to share it with you anyways because, well, it was cool.<\/p>\n

Are you a boat fan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Could you ever see yourself living on a boat?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
