We made it to the beach

WHEW! It is something else......driving down to the beach with two car loads of teenagers!
It was an easy drive... but still....they managed to make it a lively trip. I know one thing....on the drive home l am letting them use their gps and I am leaving them to find their own way back.
My daughter goes back home tomorrow.....the rest of us go on Saturday. The boys are having a ball....but I thought my son was going to be grounded before we even got here. He managed to get in a little accident on the way down here. He reached down to get a bag of chips and came over on someone.....rubbing his tire on their car. No paint or damage....but it was enough to make Larry lose his cool and the rest of the drive seemed to take longer.
The room is NICE. Three big bedroms..a full stocked kitchen....nice livingroom....HUGE wrap around porch with grill and outdoor furniture. I am really happy with this place. I did not know there isn't a lobby. I somehow missed that...but it makes sense and I see rhis being then norm for vacation resorts soon...if it isn't already.
When we got here the security guard told us where to go and get the keys....it was just up the road....no keys though. It is a keypad with codes and such. The kids went on to the pool while we did that. Once we got in here and checked out the place we all went our own ways.
I went to Wentzells with Larry.....then to Publix for supplies. I slept like a rock last night. The kids were up before us.....but I did see them before they took off again. I think the boys are playing putt putt golf.....Karen has found a friend that is down here to go running around with.
Today is beautiful. It is a little cool...but not cold. I don't know what we might end up doing....right now I'm just happy to be here

Actually, I believe it is the one at the Gulf.[;)]
if its not fresh water its the ocean lol... but you are correct
I don't know why, but grilled chicken is so much better at the beach!
I bet we go tomorrow night.....or Friday. Today we grilled chicken here at the room.....

Those are nice grills, one of the reasons I go to that building, we usually cook on the grill most of the nights we are there, do seafood a few nights up in the unit and go out once or twice.
I'm starting to drag all the "stuff" up from the basement so we can start packing the car tomorrow night....
Where is my bocce ball set? found it... [:)]
I talked to one of my dist. today and asked him about "Cobalt"...he sells them some of their fresh fish etc...He didn't know much about them,but said they buy quality products(Fish,Crab,Oysters)..hardly any of us eat at the beach restaurants..I like Triggers over in Perdido,but haven't eaten there in years.. McGuires in Pensacola is top notch! Best seafood is on the Mobile Bay Causeway!I will be at "Kravers" Friday nite....Whole fried Flounder! Best Gumbo in a restaurant!
My BIL sells for Mobile Fixture and that is part of his territory so he is in all the kitchens and I really have come to trust his, recommendations. I have some stories about McGuire's as well as Flounder's and yes of course Capt'n Fun's out on P'Cola Beach....
(and my Moniker did originate from all the good times we had at that establishment and on all of our trips to the area)
Kasey, don't teach the boys how to throw cups of ice water on those innocent girls sleeping on the beach with their tops untied.
My son and friends used that as a trick to see the girls jump up IMMEDIATELY.
Pics....or it didn't happen. [:0][;)]
