Missed you all, but had a great time. We were at Perdido Beach in AL, not far from Pensecola, FL. It was hot (85) and humid (90%?), but I loved it. We didn't do alot, besides relax by the pool, walk the beach and eat (I have a few pounds to loose now). The surf was too rough to really swim (there was a drowning on Fri, and a few close calls throughout the weekend), so we kept ds close to shore, though we did let him swim a bit. Our belcony overlooked the pool and the gulf so it was really a great place to just sit and watch the waves roll in. Saturday we visited the Air Museum, "home of the Blue Angels". They weren't flying that day, but I was so impressed with the museum, I really didn't mind. We did see them fly years ago in Las Vegas, don't pass up the chance if you ever get it. Well, I can see you've all had a great Mother's Day, and I'm going to try to read a bit of what's been happening in your lives, but not sure how much time I'll have to respond. Still catching up on laundry, yuck! (((hugs))) Charlie

No, ds is not out of school yet, we took him out for a couple of days. We just never know when we'll have the opportunity to do this again so thought it was worth it. Now he's playing catch up and I'm beginning to think it was a mistake, didn't realize he had so much going on at the end of the year. Oh well, he'll do it (I hope). We did visit the Air museum, so added a bit of educational information to the trip...maybe that way the teachers won't be so bothered, lol. Charlie

I would love that, too, Charlie. The CA coast is great and offers a lot of diversity as far as scenery. But I really want to vacation on the gulf in FL some day. So happy to hear you had fun and relaxed. Hugs

Thanks, Cappy. Half the fun was that we were in a new location. I love visiting CA too, but it was so much fun to try a new spot. Charlie

Yes, I could spend all day watching the waves, especially when they're so high and ever changing. Charlie
