Manatees behind Green Flash Well we made it back home.  Reality is setting back in only a few short days till back to the daily grind.  I have posted several pictures from the week.  We get to have our annual  contest and decide which ones get blown up and framed to hang on the wall till next years visit.  It gives us something to look forward to while we are waiting.    

The Sequel-Curtain Call

Sorry if I have been non-existent for the last couple of days.  The Beach Angels traded in their halos for a set of mouse ears.  Yep we left Paradise on Sadurday morning around 7:30.  The Angels thought we were taking mommy AKA The Handler and Chris AKA The Roadie to the airport in Orlando. About 5 miles from WDW.  The Handler gave the beach angel a note.  About being good and that mommy was going to Disney World.  The Beach Angel thought Mommy was going alone without her.  It was hilarious. But really Disney with long sweaty lines and a lot of people who don't speak English and doing it for three days.  WHAT WAS I THINKING???? Anyway back to paradise for just a few more minutes.  Then I got to go to breakfast and find Goofy.  Friday was really a repeat of alot of the days this year, Beach.  We probably spent more time this year than we have in years past.  I kept finding my self humming "Some Beach" by Blake Shelton several ...

The Sequel-Day 5

Today started with most of the cast taking a ride on the Thriller.  It was our first time.  The Beach Angels approved.  The Handler stayed behind at home base.  She has had some issues with motion sickness in the past and we didn't want her to be spending her time with her head over the rail. Sanibel Lighthouse Mother with calf guide estimated about 2 weeks old After the Thriller the cast stopped off for some ice cream and then back to home base to grill some dogs before spending the rest of the afternoon at the beach.  The water was pretty choppy so I didn't get to search for the buried treasure at the end of that rope.  If I can time the tide right I'll give it another try.   I think its probably buried to deep in the sandbar. The youngest Beach Angel has a habit of hiding things.  So far this week she has hid the phone in the toy box.  The bathroom trashcan in the shower and the roadies flip flops on the beach.  Yep she dug ...

The Sequel-Day4

Today we skipped the morning breakfast and the cast walked down the beach to Blind Pass.  We were hoping for a little help from the shell gods but all we really got was a few augers, olives and wet.  The gods decided to give us rain and the closer to the house we got the harder it rained.  Oh well it was warm and was keeping the mosquitoes at bay. Today The Roadie and the Executive Producer went to play golf.  The Dunes was closed for aeration of the greens so we settled on Beachview.  I couldn't find the balls I used last year Callaway "Bite"  I liked those because they really fit my game.(It bites too).  Well I settled on a new ball this year from Nike It Nike SFT after the first few holes I figured out what the SFT stands for.  heading STRAIGHT FOR TROUBLE!  Highlight after the golf excursion was to stop by Tropical wines and I FINALLY got my bottle of Watermelon Wine.  I been waiting for it for over a year.  Hope its worth t...
