The Visit - Chapter Four

On our final full day with Auntie Grumpy and Auntie Denise, Poppa wanted to take them to the Atlantic side of Florida, so they could wet their feet in the ocean.  That is always a favourite thing of ours and he wanted them to experience it too.  So we climbed into the car and headed east to Daytona Beach Shores.  That is one of the remaining beaches where you can still drive your car right onto the beach and park.

There weren't many people on the beach, the breeze was a little cool on the east side of Florida.  However, it wasn't cool enough to keep the girls from getting their feet wet in the great Atlantic Ocean.

It was cool enough to keep us from staying too long there and we headed back to the villa after about an hour.  We stopped for supper at a Chinese Buffet place, the food was ok, but we weren't overly struck by it.  Then we headed straight to the villa and arrived in time for a dip in the pool.  There wasn't as much breeze inland and the swim was great.

The girls were squabbling over the noodle and I gave up on trying to get them to share - just let them fight it out.  It seemed all too soon and it was time to get out and settle down for the night.  Next morning the girls finished packing their stuff back into their luggage - along with the new stuff that they had bought - and we headed to the airport again.

Somehow it wasn't as happy an event as when we went to pick them up, this time they were heading away with the luggage.  But, with no choice, we went and got their luggage checked in and then they got into the line for security screening and all that fun stuff.  It wasn't long until they had disappeared.

Can you spot them in this line?  When we got back to the villa it seemed kinda empty and quiet.  I powered up the computer and tracked their flight home, so we knew they had landed safely.  While we waited for that news, I finished Kev-Inn's first silly sock.  I experimented with the changing of the colours and was quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Squeegie decided he wanted to be "on TV" and asked me to take this picture.  Silly bear!

Murfee the Wonder Dog went nosing around in an interesting location ...just so I could see that there is very little snow left at home.

And little Munchie went to visit Gramma on the weekend and checked out the beach where Mommee and Daddee got married.

He kept wondering where all the people went.
