Spring Break
Mark was up before 4:00 am and I tried to sleep in but finally got up at 4:30 and started the coffee. I don't have a view of the sunrise nor the sunset in this condo but could tell when the the sky started to light up.
David and Elisabet walked over to the beach to watch the sunrise. David sent back the 2 pictures below:
I walked over to Diane's condo bringing a few supplies over for later. Her condo is perfectly suited for a family that loves the beach and the pool.
Above I am sitting on her deck looking out toward the beach and below I turned the camera over to the pool area.
Phil and Anna arrived around 8:00 am after driving all night so Mark and I gave them our condo and we moved over to Diane's until they were able to check into theirs. Soon everyone ended up on the beach. The waves were great for boogie boarding and we watched the kids do that for hours.
Mark and I decided to go into town for lunch and decided to try the food truck 'Rouses had outside their store. We were kind of hoping for fish but they were selling pulled pork or some kind of southern sausage with rice and beans. Each dinner cost $5.50 so we decided to try.
Below Mark is ordering,.
We took it into Rouse's to eat in their diner.
The rice and beans were bland but the sausage was spicy enough, if mixed it was ok. We wasted a lot of the rice and beans but went home no longer hungry. We stopped at Walmart to pick up potato salad for our dinner tonight. At 3:00 pm I started the dinner. Mark was going to grill steaks and those needed to be seasoned. The onions sliced and sauteed, the mushrooms also sauteed in butter, the salad mixed up then everything packed in the cooler we keep in the car. We drove to David and Stephanie's condo as the grill at that condo association worked well last night. David helped carry the food over to Phil and Anna's condo where they had plenty of room for us to eat inside and even had enough silverware that we each got a steak knife, fork and spoon. Ours and David's is sorely lacking in that department. Why I'm pretty sure at David's they only have 3 spoons. Phil rented at Island Royale and ended up on the very top floor. After a delicious supper we adults went out on the balcony to watch the kids playing ball on the beach.
They were much to far down for us to be able to see what they were doing.
I zoomed all the way in.
News from home is Zion caught a huge bass in the pond at their new house.
Rhoda took Zeek for a walk in the woods and he found treasure!
I'm sure glad everyone is having a good time on Spring break both home and in Alabama. Today was such a nice day.
