Christmas Vacation: Day 2

Neighborhood Holiday Mowtilla

Unless you're a native Wilmingtonian, you don't have the first clue what a holiday mowtilla is. Let me quickly explain. On the intracoastal waterway there's an annual holiday floatilla, where boats of all shapes and sizes are decorated with lights and other holiday garb. Granny and Grandaddy's neighborhood started their own floatilla of sorts, only using mowers instead of boats. It was lots of fun for all the kiddos (and adults) to be in a parade and throw candy canes out to the parade watchers. We even had Santa himself to drive our "float."

After the mowtilla, we all came inside to warm up and enjoy Granny's goodies.

Day 2 is over, and so far, vacation is a big hit.
