Mermaids

“My life is like a stroll on the beach...as near to the edge as I can go.” -- Thoreau

Home from a wonderful couple of days at the beach! Very relaxing, the hotel was great, the weather was absolutely perfect, the water was pristine and it was wonderful to spend time with each other.

I very rarely go in the water when we're at the beach but this past weekend the water was crystal clear and so incredibly warm. It felt very tropical and "Caribbean." My two girls were positively shocked. They have never seen me spend so much time in the water. We had such a good time riding waves, floating, snorkeling. Lots of good food this weekend, some black light mini golf (quite an experience and yes, I won), some go-karts (first time EVER riding a go-kart and yes, I lapped everyone and kicked butt), some arcade games, some skee ball (T kicked our butts). We visited our familiar haunts (Captain Anderson's, Pineapple Willy's) and tried some new places, too (Hanmerhead Freds, Tacky Jacks and Andy's Flour Power).

“I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.”
-- T. S. Eliot
