321.365.2013 Day Excursions

Posted on by dtsphoto365

After a leisurely morning, we hopped in the car and headed of to Miromar Outlets because I had a hankering to shop. It was a gorgeous day for a drive with the top down!

We walked around for several hours at the Outlet and I feel like I did pretty good on controlling the spend… Except for a nice new piece of Tumi luggage. I’m so excited! Dave enjoyed feeding a pond of Koi fish that also had several turtles in it.

Then we headed down to Naples. Our friend Russ that is with us wanted to see it and it’s his birthday. So, we thought it’d be a great idea! The drive was amazing and we watched the sunset from the car.

We found a little Italian joint and had some delicious pizza. Yum.

Afterwards, we walked around 5th Ave that has a ton of shops and restaurants. And ice cream… Yes, ice cream.

Now I’m exhausted!

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!

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?
