So DH was comfortable in the rocking chair on the balcony with his book, doing exactly what he had in mind for the week. Mom and the boys were working on the puzzle, I was trying to decide what I wanted to do today, if anything. I knew it was cooler than I wanted for the beach at that point, but I did want to get out of the room for a bit. DH had been for a run, I knew the boys wouldn't want to go for a walk to nowhere, so I asked Mom and Dad if they wanted to go for a walk by the marina and up by where King Neptune is so I could get his picture. It worked out well as I was right about the boys not wanting to go and about DH staying behind.
We found a cut-through to the pathway by the Harbour and walked toward the front of the Resort. All along the pathway, there are planters filled with a variety of flowers.
It was a pleasant place to walk. We went across the bridge...
and discovered that there are shops and restaurants over there. So we did some shop browsing. They have some nice little shops; one is a Christmas shop so that was fun to look in, and they carry some Disney-themed items made by Jim Shore, a local area artist. I had only tucked a few dollars in my pocket when we left because I had not anticipated that there were shops that close to us, so I'm definitely going to make a trip back over. DH likes the kinds of shops that are in the Shelter Cove Harbour , so we'll probably go over tomorrow. (Note: I just read the brochure and it seems that King Neptune is the World's Largest Figure Sundial... so now that I've seen the World's Largest something, I can definitely say we've been on vacation!)
My boys collect those thimbles and spoons that are so popular, so I thought to look for them. I found them at a shop that had a sign in the front that my dad posed with:
(He's a really good sport!) We found San Miguel's Mexican Cafe and picked up a menu for later in the week. Since that took us to the end of the shopping area, we turned around and headed back to the Resort. Along the way, I got this picture:
and that's without having gone to the Nature Photography class they offer here!
My mom wants to know what kind of bush this is:
We walked back to the Resort only to find that DH and the boys were gone!
