Checking in long enough to post some photos. We are having such a good time. Everyone has arrived and we are all (25 of us) going to dinner tonight. Last night 17 of us went to dinner. Bless the waiters we had. Our group can be a bit rowdy....
Cousin Bobber and his gang all went to Clearwater today, so the little ones could see Winter, the dolphin at Clearwater Aquarium. They will be back in time for dinner and I'm anxious to hear the girls tell us about their experience. The rest of us have been on the beach and at the Beach Bar (for lunch and a few adult beverages). We hit the shower and relax mid-afternoon (now) before going to dinner. Four of our folks are leaving tomorrow so time with them today and tonight is extra precious.
I'm posting photos more for me, as part of this journal, but you are welcome to see and comment, too. I know you don't know the people (except me) but they are my loved ones....
