Yikes, I found us at the top of page 3! I sure hope Cindy gets back soon, maybe the chattiness will start back up
Hey, I resemble that remark!
We got home about 3 this afternoon. We ended up staying until yesterday morning as the beginning of the week didn't start out on a good note.
Our pet sitter called and said it looked like there was a problem with our dogs eyes. So, she took him in on Monday after he ran into the wall and the garage to find out that he was almost totally blind, losing a lot of weight and either suffering from diabetes or cancer. So, we made the hard decision to have him put to sleep. It was so strange coming home to the house without him waiting for us. I'm sure it's going to be a tough adjustment over the next several weeks.
We had gorgeous weather the beginning of the week. The pool was nice, the beach was nice. We saw several dolphins swimming off the beach, in 7 trips, this was the first time I saw them at the beach but none in the creek by the resort.
We did a lot of dining out, one night we even found a Carabbas which was very good, as I would have expected. The other nights we dined at these little tiny restaurants that could seat no more than 24 people. Really more local places, as we've learned over the years to ask the people at the resorts where we should dine. Didn't disappoint us as all.
We were in our favorite building 31 - facing the creek. The boys went fishing off the pier and other little spots they found catching a couple of sting rays, 1 flounder and a couple of whitings. And, one lonely crab - on a fishing line no less.
We had fun kayaking in the creek one morning. A lot of work but it was something we'd never do in the summer as the weather would do us in before we even started. We took a trip out to Dufuskie Island on a beach combing tour as well. As usual, we found a lot of sand dollars and shells. One of these years I'm going to resist picking them up -- but when they are just sitting there waiting for me, it's so hard to keep walking on by.
We'll be back next year but we all decided, even though it's hot and humid, we prefer the summer months. No bugs (the no see-ums were terrible), pool swimming weather - Walker only "swam" in the hot tub as their idea of a pool being heated is most likely the same as WDW's idea, as the water was cold, the ocean was like ice and I missed sitting on the balcony enjoying the warm weather - as some of the days were on the chilly side at the end of the week.
Hope all is well with everyone!
John asked me how many bottles I already had opened
