life on water

There was a brief period in our childless days where we were semi serious about living on a house boat. I scanned the classifieds for something doable in the Key West region. But then Key West went on the back burner and I turned my attention toward more child friendly locations. Over the last few years, I've studied cob, hay bale, yurt, campers and pole barns..... ANYTHING that would be small and that we could do cheap enough to make major changes in our careers. I had completely forgotten about houseboats!! I adore the house boats of Seattle!!! So I thought I'd share some eye candy while I day dream some more. The following picture was my dream home. I think I fell in love with tug boats growing up in countless marinas with my family. The crusty hermit boats intrigued me.
