VB Trip - A mixed bag of....

[westjones]

All in all we had an excellent trip, but I will say that DW and I decided we will not be doing anymore trips with our grown children... that is all I'm going to say about that.

Can I just ask how old your grown children are?

Great pix and thanks so much for sharing with this report! Did you have any nice restaurants to report on from this trip? We are leaving for Vero a week from tomorrow and it will be DH's first time there, so we are very excited!

What wonderful pics Rob! Thanks so much for sharing them.

So sorry your kids made for a not so peaceful vacation. Mine have done the same, as have my parents. I come home saying never again and always break down.

Thanks for sharing those great pictures and report Did you happen to run into Jeanne "the turtle lady" in the giftshop and see her photos? She would probably love to have copies of a few of yours! Was over there on the beach early this morning Didn't see any Green Mickeys Hanging around.

Wonderful pictures. Can't wait to go. We just found out we were going toward the shore of Florida in Oct so we called this week and got OVIR for our stay. Hope we see a beautiful sunrise like that from our window!

Nope. We rarely go to restaurants and with one look at Shutters & Sonya's menu prices we decided to stick to sandwiches, salads, & mwave meals. The kids told us they went to the Lobster Shanty ( or maybe Shack?) and really liked it. DDIL is from Ketchikan, Alaska and a fishing family so she has something to compare to.

Have a really great trip

Afraid I didn't run into Jeanne. Boy... I want to live where you live or somewhere near the coast. Did a little metal detecting while we were there, but no finds.

One of my co-workers (a local), he works in our Vero store and I work in WPB, recommends Mrs. Mac's Filling Station as a good breakfast and lunch. It has an old gas station motife, affordable and tasty. They have a website, mrsmacs.com if anyones interested, 951 Old Dixie Highway, Vero Beach

Hi Kerri, You'll get in...

They do set up chairs and umbrellas early in the morning and I would say usually a little more than half of them get rented.

What beautiful pictures! Thank you!

When DS, gregwoz,now 30, was 25ish, we brought him to WDW to celebrate DM's 85th birthday, and he was bunking with the son (20ish) of DF's. DS showed his first signs of maturity when he mentioned that he remembers giving us such a difficult time as that young man was giving his parents. Truly, there is hope that in the future you'll have some memorable vacations together, in the good sense of the word! However, when I read your post to DH, he said that your reasons are exactly why he likes "just the 2 of us" to go on WDW's trips! What can I say?..except for me, when we are with family, family things are all that I do. I am sorry to say, I didn't even wear my Disboard pin as I planned to.

We're in Cape May now, no sea turtles, just terapins, some being cared for by the Nature Center in CM, an interesting story as well.

Can't thank you enough for those beautiful pictures, sigh...staying in 1475 was a wonderful experience.

The next time you are there look her up and show her your photos. She is a wonderful CM to have on staff at VB. not even a lucky penny huh? Wish you the best and enjoy your next visit! Thanks again for sharing the beautiful pictures.

Nope... no treasures of any kind.

Glad to getting to know you though. Want to keep close and learn about how to search. Need to spend more time there too.

 

[madcoco]

Anytime. If you are going to be back in the area,PM with some notice. If not away at the time, would be more than happy to show your family or anyone else here on this DVC board some tips.

Great pictures!!! Last June while we were at VB DH and I were returning from a night time walk on the bach hoping to see a turtle. As we approached the resort someone came up to us and told us to stay back and watch where we step because there was a turtle that had just come up from the water onto the beach! It was the most amazing thing to watch as the turtle finished making her way up the beach, dug the hole, layed her eggs and then covered them and slowly turned and went back to the water, all right in front of the ramp that leads down to the beach in front of Disney's resort!

Hey! Rob.......great pictures! We were at Vero from the 21st to the 26th. I was hoping to see ya there.....I would be at the beach or pool trying to guess which person was you.....anyway this was our first trip to Vero and loved it.....I told the wife we need to add a Vero trip in every year.

The only thing that was disappointing was the wave action...the waves did pick up by Wed our last day on the beach. In fact, the boogie boards never made it out of the car. It was nice to relax after being WDW the week before....The beach itself reminded me alot of the Outer Banks of NC...the sand and the drop off....We're going to Myrtle Beach the last of July so hopefully the boards can get some use.

I wish we lived closer to Vero....on Thursday we left Vero at 9:30 in morning and I pulled into my driveway here in Richmond Virginia at 10:30pm.....824.7 miles in 13 hours.....whew!!!!!!

The wife says I'm wasting my time working at DMV and she going to get the number to the Truck Driving school...I did have that Van rolling up 95 north.
