In the time that we had on Monday (previous chapter) just sitting and watching the rain from under our beach umbrella, I got to thinking about the difficulty we had in finding the Beach House on our first bike outing. Maps are fine, and verbal descriptions such as, "you'll see a spot where it looks like you wouldn't be allowed through, but just keep on going" are even more helpful

, but what we really need, especially in this day and age, is a video. But who would volunteer for this task? Who knows the path, with all its twists and turns? Who would be willing to take up the mantle of this challenge set before him? Who's got an iPhone and free time?

"Um, I guess I'll do it."
Waking up on Tuesday morning, I was thinking about making the just-described biking video and realized that one problem was that iPhone video doesn't let you stop and start recording – when you stop, it saves the video. And it's too long of a trip to do one long shot. I figured there had to be an app that would let you stop and start recording, basically editing on-the-fly, and I found one called Emoji Cam, which also fit my price range, of "free". I downloaded it and tested it out and it seemed to do the trick.
It was now around 7 o'clock and I wanted to get going, before there was very much activity on the bike trail. I showered and started working on putting some breakfast together for myself. I made some eggs and toast, and Judy heated up some bacon that she had cooked earlier. I put half a Via packet in the coffee mug since the mugs are small and it's pretty potent, and I was afraid that Judy would pick up the Via packet and spill the rest so I told her to be careful – it's still
Via-ble. Ba-dum-bum.
We made our plan for the day, which was to go to the Outlets in the morning. With the rain that we had the night before, it didn't look like today was going to be a good beach day. We'd at least go outlet-shopping until lunchtime or so, and then see if the weather was good enough to try out the resort pool.
But first, I'd take a little bike trip to the Beach House and back, and record it for y'all.
Ladies and Gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, I give you Glennbo's "Cycling to Beach House video", take 1.
I seem to be going s-o-o-o s-l-o-o-w on that video, but I thought I was going normal-speed at the time.
I came back to the suite and tried and tried and tried to upload that video to
Youtube, but couldn't get it to upload. Ahh, technology.
