BEACH TIME!

We had the BEST TIME at the beach!!!!!!!!!! The trip seemed to FLY by---only 4 1/2 hour drive and it went so fast I didn't even have time to finish Lily's scrapbook! (yes, I took scrapbook stuff with me and worked on it in the car and later, when we arrived, in our condo!). We stayed at WATERCOLOR and it is just beautiful there! We did NOT want to come home !!!!!! It was fun just doing whatever we wanted to/WHEN we wanted to! The weather was picture perfect with the exception of being a little too hot!!!! But, it was still beautiful!Katie and I hit the outlets from 11-3 and got some great stuff! She got b'day money from her dad and she got an adorable Dooney/Bourke watch and a few other goodies. (I got MYSELF a new Dooney/Bourke purse too!). Of course, we both found the little ones lots of cute things for their b'days!....Saturday, Katie and I stayed in the pool on FLOATS all day!(yes, I stayed on a FLOAT in the pool!). Terry went to the beach and swam, then would swim at the pool with us. The water was like a bathtub , it was so warm. So was the Gulf of Mexico---the weather man said it was 86 degrees!....Terry made us the most wonderful Pina Coladas (thanks to Mike Bagby's recipe!) OH, MAN--they were wonderful! I believe the ICE CREAM is the secret ingredient!!!!  AND, yes, Katie was old enough to have one!!!!! (well, what's a few days early?!)...Had SOOOO much fun but it's back to reality!(boo! hiss!). But,  We are thinking of going back to Watercolor for Thanksgiving! We'll see if we can work out the logistics with so many  of us, but it sure would be fun!
