Slept in… Had two cups of coffee… Read half a book. Took a little swim and jacuzzi… Grabbed a beer. Read some more.

Had a great dinner. Chicken kebobs and a wonderful Far Niente Chardonnay.

Finished my book and started another. Went out for ice cream (Oh. My. Goodness.)

317.365.2013 Ft. Myers!!

So, several months ago we won a condo at a charity auction. And by won, we bid with another friend and paid for it. But it was a super cheap deal. I had buyers remorse for the first 30 days and then I really forgot about it. Today? Best. Purchase. Ever!!

The condo is amazing… 4 bedrooms, pool and hot tub on a screened-in porch… Grill… Audi convertible to drive… Gated community… Ridiculous! And we’re here to relax for the week.

Some shots of the trip:

After we arrived and scouted out the place, we went to Target for a massive grocery shop. Somehow we managed to fit two carts into the trunk of the Audi convertible.

And here’s a shot of the living and doing room. I’ll share more throughout the week.

We saw two service dogs just kickin it in first class today. Maybe something for Diohgé to consider?

316.365.2013 Packing, et al

Today was a little jumble… Paying bills, unpacking, packing for vacation, organizing house stuff, playing with the pooch.

His favorite new game is running around the kitchen and living room. He loves the chase and I think it’s hilarious how he slips on the kitchen floor.

Then we headed up the Coon Rapids to drop the pooch off for his own vacation. He is really enjoying his new friend Xander. They started playing right away!

After a great dinner at the Roadhouse with Becca and Cara, we headed back to the townhome to finish some details. It’s kinda sad! (It’s also sad that I didn’t get a photo with Becca and Cara.)

Now I’m relaxing by the fire and enjoying some wine.
