320.365.2013 Long, Relaxing Days

Posted on by dtsphoto365

We woke up super early today to catch the sunrise off the beach. We stopped at McDonalds to get some energy and the headed to the park. It was early, but very peaceful and beautiful!

We came back and took naps before our massages. And we were all glad we scheduled massages. So exciting! Afterwards, we just relaxed at the house with an afternoon of naps, computers and pool time.

All day we had been cooking a crock pot delight and it was amazing with the wine we paired. Spicy dinner and sweet sparkling wine. Yum!

This evening, we enjoyed some beverages while playing a little card game. We went through the whole deck!!

319.365.2013 Beach, Sand and Shells

Posted on by dtsphoto365

After a delicious breakfast of eggs and bacon, we headed out to the beach. I got to drive the Audi (amazing!) and we quickly found a good place to park and a nice spot to hunker down for the day.

The view was amazing… Sunny skies, white sand, shells all around and crashing waves on the shore. I read and relaxed and played in the water.

Then we came back to the condo to relax… I read some more before passing out for a couple of hours. When I woke up, we headed out to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. Yum!

Off to bed! Tomorrow is an early rise!
But before I go, happy birthday from Diohgé to Mary!

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.

317.365.2013 Ft. Myers!!

Posted on by dtsphoto365

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

Posted on by dtsphoto365

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.
