We had 5 great days with Grandson John and Daughter-in-law Kris. They arrived last Friday to beautiful sunshine. We spent the afternoon at the pool. For dinner we had the lobster Paul caught on Wednesday.
Kris, John & I went to Mangos for happy hour. Brown Tip was playing Rake & Scrape. John joined him with the Bongos.
Saturday we went to The Hibiscus Cafe for coconut conch, a favorite of mine and Johns.
That evening we went to The Jib room for steak night then the limbo show. Again John joined in.
He had fun.
Sunday we went to the beach. John and Kris went snorkeling even though it was pretty chili.
We all went to the Super Bowl party here at the resort. We enjoyed great food and the giant TV screen. I am not really all that into football but since Kris & John are from Pittsburgh they really enjoyed it-- except John could not quite make it to the end so he and Grandpa came back to the boat and missed the best part of the game.
Monday we took Wink's skiff to Mermaid Reef for snorkeling. I "tended" the boat while John, Kris and Paul snorkeled. They saw lots of different fish and also lots of lobster but Mermaid Reef is a National Park and therefore a no take zone- darn. The ride back to the boat was fine until the last mile and then it was very rough but we got home fine.
We had a big happy hour on the dock. Judy Law baked and decorated a wonderful chocolate birthday cake for Kris. I made her a purple necklace, her favorite color.
Tuesday we sorted shells and packed up a bunch for them to take home then all too soon they were off to the airport and back to Pittsburgh and, although I am complaining about the cold here, much colder temperatures and snow. I'll stick to my white stuff being sand.
I posted a few pictures but more to come.
