322.365.2013 Last Day

Today was sad… A beautiful warm day driving around in the convertible realizing that we leave tomorrow. 😦 But we finally got to Sanibel and Captiva. Definitely worth the time!

First we started the day with some champagne.

Then we headed to Pinnocho’s for ice
cream. We heard from several that it was amazing… The Italian wedding cake was delicious!

The beach at the Lighthouse was fun for a walk and shells.

And of course we came back to relax in the pool. I love it.

304.365.2013 It’s Closing Time…

Diohgé woke me up around 4 am today because he was so excited about his new backyard. So, I ended up laying downstairs for awhile just all a twitter for the big day.

Eventually, we ended up at the house for the walk through. It was weird being empty, but so exciting! They even left us the garage fridge. Bonus!

After we did the walk, we headed for closing so that I could own two mortgages. Yay! Lots of signing… We did get to meet the sellers and they were pretty cool. They were excited that we were dog people because their’s had passed away about 2 months ago. And we found out the guy re-did the kitchen and bathroom all himself! Hand carved cabinets!!

Once we got our keys, we headed back to the town home and started loading up. We took over two loads of the most important stuff – the wine! We started the wine cave and I couldn’t be more excited.

Then we headed to get the pooch and some dinner. He was SO EXCITED when we got to the house. He loved the backyard and started playing with his toys immediately!

We enjoyed some champagne with dinner. (Diohgé had a Beggin Strip.) And Matthew and Beth came over to see the digs!
