Another night ends with a bang - Part 3
 

It was now mid afternoon and we decided to rest for a little while before we were to head out again later that day. 

Around 5pm I got our gifts together for Michelle and her family and around 6pm we were on our way over to Fort Wilderness where they were enjoying their vacation and celebrating their 25th anniversary. 

They were waiting for us in their golf cart when we arrived and as soon as we had parked the car and we had hugged each other we were on our way and given a tour of the resort. 

We have been to Fort Wilderness before and knew the layout, but since they stay there often they knew every little bend and pointed out a lot of things we would not have seen otherwise. We finally ended up at their campground and sat outside chatting and sipping Champagne in honour of their wedding anniversary. 

I am pretty sure everyone would agree that we all had a great time. 

Around half past eight we all got onto the golf carts again and off we went to the Marina. They had booked a fireworks cruise and we had been invited to join them. 

And today was the very first of the new Halloween Fireworks so we were all pretty excited.

  When we arrived the boat was nowhere in sight but after a short while it got in and after a few minutes we were able to get on board. 

Didn’t take long and we left the marina and started our cruise around the area. 

Our female captain pointed out a lot of stuff and since Michelle and her husband and kids live locally they all knew a lot and we all chatted until we “hit” a stray raincloud. 

We went from nice clear sky into a shower within seconds, but our captain had come prepared and handed out towels.

And within two minutes the shower was over. 

Shortly before the fireworks were to go off our boat was positioned in front of the train station and soon enough the fireworks started. They pipe in the music, so it was a great experience and we sat there waiting for what was to come next and taking it all in. Tom taped part of it

and before we knew it the fireworks were over and we just sat there and watched the Water Pageant go by before we were on our way back. 

Our captain was going pretty fast and when another boat crossed our path we hit a few waves and while we all thought that it was going to be rocky a big wave splashed inside the boat. 

We all sat there feet in the air and laughing hard. 

A few minutes later we arrived back at the marina and got off the boat. 

It was late already and Angelina, their grown up special needs daughter was tired, so Vito took us back to our car and we said our goodbyes. 

Tom and I went back to Pop Century and once we were back we talked about the day's events, but we both were tired too and soon were ready for bed and once we turned off the light we were out like the light.
