Got up @ 6:30 and got dressed for walk and ready for pool. I went down
to docks to take some pictures of sailboats that I would like one day.
After that I went to boat launch out of curiosity to see if I could spot
any dolphin by chance. None.
I went poolside @ around 8:30 and grabbed "Our Table" and lounge chairs
along with enough towels for everyone. No excercise classes today.
Probably just Monday through friday. Jason called and I filled him in
and told him to come on down when everyone was ready. I figure i'll read
until then and get some pool-time in today to work off all of that pizza
I ate yesterday. (Close to 20 slices + dessert)
EVERYBODY came down to the pool today. First time all week that we got
all down @ 1 time. We stayed at pool until about 5pm and soaked in the
last of the sun, even though it was mostly cloudy.
We ate whatever there was in the house as far as leftovers and whatever
else would not travel back with us tomorrow. Whatever bread is left will
go to the turtles in the morning. I hope they are not very hungry
because it doesn't look like there will be much left. After dinner I
took the kids out for the final PGA golf outing.
Time to pack and get ready for early departure in morning. Planning on
Breakfast @ Golden Corral. I have to say that this turned out to be a
very relaxing Vacation.

Friday 8-31-07
Well I woke up @ 4:30am and started to watch a movie on my Laptop
w/headphones on so I wouldn't wake anybody up. I had too much energy to
just sit still and watch that so I decided to get a good long walk in
before everyone woke up. Based on the last 4 days, I figured that gave
me 4 hours. Everybody sleeps in, but that is what vacations are for, for
Normal people, so I guess that makes me abnormal. The only long stretch
of road is the road isthe one leading to the resort so I figured I would
walk to the check-in office and back. No streetlights but I had a full
moon. I wasn't quit sure how long it was but I had the Owls and the
occasional dog to break the silence for me. 3hrs and 9miles later I
returned and was ready to do my daily job of getting to the pool early
and save "Our" table and lounge chairs for the day. The "older" people
get to the pool at 7:30 and have the pool till about 9:45 to swim laps
and have their "pool aerobics/water resistance" classes before the kids
get there. My self-appointed job is to save a good table and enjoy the
last of my "Me Time" before the troops roll in. I donated my "King of
Torts" book to the library here and took another to read. Not many that
I liked but I did find one by an Author that my Mom suggested. "Night
Fall" by Nelson Demille.
Another beautiful day with no humidity and very few clouds. We spent
the morning at pool then off to CiCi's for power Lunch. After CiCi's we
were going to stop @ Walmart to buy some Ribs to cook tomorrow night.
Last year there was this guy Craig who worked here at the Rec. Center
who, I must say, was the nicest and friendliest guy. The kids looked for
him right away when we got here but apparently he had moved on to bigger
and better things. The kids loved his "How youaaaal doin?" and his other
southernisms. Well back to Walmart. We were walking past a jewelry store
between CiCi's and Walmart and Evelyn thought she saw Craig working
there, but wasn't sure. We continued on. I ducked out of Walmart and
went back to investigate. Sure enough it was him! I told him that the
kids had been asking about him and that really made his day. I said that
I just wanted to make sure so that the kids didn't go running up to a
stranger by mistake and said that I would be bringing the kids by in a
few minutes. Well I did and both the kids and Craig had a great chat.
Small world.
Tonight is Movie Night ("Wild Hogs") and I signed the kids up to watch.
Free movie with popcorn and drinks plus 1 1/2 hrs peace and quiet.
Gregoria went too and said that Craig had called earlier to share the
story about meeting the kids at his job with his ex-coworkers. It really
made his day!
I had a belly full of pizza to sleep off and took a power nap. I woke up
when they got back and then stayed up till 1am watching some tv and
reading. 1 full day left :(
