Vacation Days 2 & 3

     So I guess a vacation is going well when you are either too tired or too busy to post, right? Yesterday, everyone was WORN OUT from trying to do everything at least once in the first day, so we spent most of the morning lounging around. Then the adults went to Rodizio Grill, which is a Brazilian Steakhouse. Basically you sit, and they come and slice delicious grilled steaks and other meats for you. Just meats. Oh, and grilled pineapple. You can get up and go get salad and other veggies if you want (but WHY?) and THEY KEEP BRINGING YOU MEAT!! I was so happy. And so full. It Was beyond good. Although I did pass on the chicken hearts. Ray, of course, did not pass on anything. Bob and Lia treated us for our anniversary. Not enough thanks!!! Bur THANK YOU!!

     Came back and went swimming and winder of wonders, we did not hit the bottom after all that food. Then the nephew, Em, Amanda, Ray and I watched "To Kill a Mockingbird". Kids kept trickling away and by the end of the movie, it was just me and Emily. She is almost 14 (2 weeks, just ask her) so it's a great time to see this movie and "get it".

Today, Lia and Bob visited some friends. They used to live in the area, so they still have local friends. Mom is doing the same thing tomorrow. Half the crew went to the beach. Sarah hung at the pool. Mom and the grandkids played Monopoly this morning. Meatloaf for dinner. It's all very exciting.

Family Vacation, AHOY!

     Well, yesterday the whole extended family embarked on our first vacation together. Yep, 10 of us in a Florida condo for 7 days. We range from 9 to 63. 3 generations. Lots of personalities. 2 stroke victims, 1 TBA, several anxiety sufferers, 4 teens, and a Yankee. (we love Bob anyway!). My sister and I planned this to the best our abilities, and then we are just turning it over. Lia found a great condo near the beach with a fishing pier, and a pool, so there should be something for everyone to do. we have three floors to spread out, and we have plenty of room. So far, day one of Florida Family Vaca 2015 has been great. Beach this morning, pool this afternoon, long nap, bar-b-cue dinner, pool again, settling in for the evening. We win!!
