First of all, I want to thank all of you who's thoughts and prayers comforted us last Fall. As you may remember, my 9 year old daughter fell out of a tree and broke her femur the day before we were to fly out to:
Enroute to our true home away from home:
Instead, we spent 32 days in the pediatric ward in traction:
Followed by 6 weeks in a body cast:
Needless to say, we had plenty of time to plan our next trip to another one of our favorite places:
We arrived late Sunday morning before Memorial Day and our 2 bedroom lockoff was initially not ready. We we opted for lunch overlooking the Atlantic from the Green Cabin Room deck. ( I highly recommend the 4 cheese flatbread with garlic, tomatoes, and spinach.) With our room still not ready, we opt to for swimsuits and end up rummaging through our luggage in the parking garage.
Enter Georgette, cast member extra ordinaire. Though hundreds of feet away, Georgette is concerned about this family seemingly making their home in the parking garage. I think I can help you she exclaims. After a few walkie talkie moments she shares with us that our room is almost done but the previous guests were kind enough to leave it need of some serious carpet steam cleaning. She then made way for us to unload and change in our room as long as we were ok with the fans blowing the floors dry. OK?.. we were ecstatic that she was allowing us to get in our room early despite feeling some shame regarding the previous DVC occupants. Georgette continued to look after us throughout our stay including teaching the girls to make towel animals.
We headed straight for the beach armed with our cooler, sunshade, inflatable boogie boards and chairs.
Our typical day revolved around early morning walks on the beach
or just sleeping in,
early afternoons at the pool,
late afternoons on the beach,
and evenings back at the villa.
We had one morning that resembled a lush tropical rain forest
but by afternoon the sun was shining and the waves were awesome.
I was the chef for the week so we enjoyed chicken salad, shrimp cocktail, seafood quesadilas, guacamole, seafood linguine, crab leg dinners and key lime pie.. Mom and Dad treated us to a nice evening of yet more seafood at Captian Hirams one evening .
(Now that were back in Indiana, Im think Im about ready for a thick steak).
The girls had fun at the campfire one night
and still sing out I cant... my back aches, the suns to bright, my bootie shakes from left to right...Guess you had to be there.
They also they had a blast making friends with Hanna from Kansas.
The trio boogie boarded, swam, and built sand castles together before having to share goodbye hugs.
We had a great boogie boarding, shell finding, water sliding, sun rising, over eating, over sleeping time hanging out with each other.
We are grateful to God in whos creation we reveled and in whose Grace we healed .
