Truffle Shuffle

That's the name of our beloved boat that we have been spending our summer on almost every weekend. We planned a family vacation a while back but we had so many unexpected expenses for the last 2 weeks that i seriously doubt that we will go anywhere. First of all our water pipe broke and that alone was like 2k to fix it. Then the same week, our air conditioner broke downstairs so we had to have it fixed. Couple of days later our upstairs conditioner broke so the company had to come back and fix that. As if this wasn't enough Lilly our purest lab of all got sick with Pancreatitis, which is a very serious condition for the dogs and can be fatal. It is basically inflammation of pancreas and she had to spent almost entire week in a hospital trying to recover (that costed us another 2K). She had to receive fluids for 4 days and take different types of drugs just to get this thing under control. Luckily Lilly is strong and she recovered. She now has to be on special, designer diet dog food and cannot consume any types of fat (goodbye peanut butter and cashew nuts... her favorite). As soon as we covered Lilly's expenses, our air conditioner broke again and we now have to replace it (we have already paid $700 for fixing it and we now have to pay another 1,300K to exchange the evaporator coil). God help us! When it rains, it pours. I can't believe it all happened just one week. Anyways, to get away from all these problems we decided to spent a weekend on our boat. We stayed overnight and ended up having a blast. Here are just a few pictures from our weekend escape (Noah was taking a nap while Paul took some pictures of me and Leah):
