4th of July Week Beach Trip

Friday - June 29: We were on the road again, but in the car heading to the Gulf Beaches this time to spend a few days relaxing in the sun with a good book and magazines. We collected shark's teeth, seashells, ate at Sharky's on The Pier, watched the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico and just plain relaxed! Our friend, Janine came and spent the first few days with us. Friday after dinner at Sharky's we watched the sun go down at the South Jetty where the dolphins jumped and played as we watched and a couple of manatees played by the rocks. It was totally amazing, but as soon as the sun set and we had gotten our hundreds of pictures over the waters, it started to rain.

Saturday - June 30: We again enjoyed time at the Beach and then a great dinner that Rudy cooked for us and then ended the day at the Englewood Beach to watch the sunset over the Gulf as we sat quietly in our chairs and took in the magnificent sky and listened to the waves come crashing in.

Sunday - July 1: This started our week-long routine of getting up, having breakfast, leaving for the beach by 9:00 a.m., coming back to the house for showers, lunch and some R&R for the afternoon (I make lots of scrapbook pages), then in the evening we would venture out again to just site-see in the area.

Thursday, July 5: Rudy decided that we were going to take a drive to Fort Myers and find a restaurant called Famous Dave's that we saw advertised on TV. So on this very warm afternoon we hit the road south and had a great dinner at a place we've never eaten before.

New adventures and spur of the moment things are always fun!
Our daily routine was carried out through Thursday and then Friday, July 6th, we packed up and headed home with a stop in Sebring for our monthly hair cuts. We arrived home on Friday, unpacked and settled in to go back to the every-day work week until we are able to take another couple of days and travel on the road for fun, rest and relaxation!
