I thought we might have to rent our second bedroom out to them permanently! Not that we wouldn't have wanted them to stay forever, but they sure exhausted us. They have the energy of a 8 year old! Where should I start......
Travis and I are still working so they had they days to themselves. Most days they either walked to Smith's cove, a small beach near our house, or Travis would pick them up on his lunch break and bring them to one of the big beaches on Seven Mile. They can definitely entertain themselves. They packed a chilly bin (cooler) and played dice on the beach for hours every afternoon. They are both have tans liked they have lived here for a decade.
On the first weekend we taught Dad how to drive on the opposite side of the road. Did I mention my new car has the steering wheel on the right hand side too? Besides a little "incident" in the parking lot at Davey Jones Locker, he did pretty good. I don't think it helped that mom and I kept squealing in the backseat.
We also went to an Art show at the Botanical Gardens that Sunday. It was really beautiful. That night we took them to Billy Bones for 2 for 1 rum punches. We had a blast.
Tuesday we went back to Billy Bones for Poker night. My parents did awesome. There were 70 people playing for a chance to get a spot in a tournament in Vegas. They both made it in the final 16 and Dad actually ended up getting second place. No trip to Vegas but he won a case of Caybrew beer! It was a lot of fun.
Saturday my dad and Travis had a "boy's" night at our friend Tony's house. Mom and I had movie night to recoup from Friday night. Don't ask.
Sunday was our big rip to Sting Ray City. It was sooooo amazing. I can't wait to bring all of our guests! We took a chartered boat there and got to swim with and feed sting rays. We even kissed one! Then the boat took us to Coral Gardens and we had the most incredible snorkeling experience ever! The water was so clear and there were hundreds of fish around us. I am going to add some photos tonight so check them out! Mom wouldn't let us skip the 2 for 1 rum punches at Billy Bones and I'll let her tell you what she did at Stingers after that.
We went to Casanova on Tuesday. It was the best meal any of us had had in a long time. Next we headed to the Wharf to watch them feed the Tarpon (huge fish). We called it an early night because mom and dad had 14 hours of travel home on Wednesday.
Overall we had a fantastic time. They said they are coming back in the fall with some of you. Get you passports! We are moving April 1st and we will be on the ocean with a pool! I am sure I missed a lot of details of their trip but they can fill you in.
Only 13 days until Trent, Jean, and Jerry come! We can't wait! And with all of that snow in Wisconsin, they can't either. :)
One last little note.... Our thoughts are with our friend Steve. His father passed away last week.
