Friday Fun

Friday was a fun time! We got up leisurely and enjoyed breakfast while the kids slept in a bit.

We enjoyed our first Chick-Fil-A sandwich before leaving to take a tour. We went to Shannon's work and got the grand tour. She works for Cyberwize, in the corporate office. It reminded me of the old Amway days.

Then we took a trip to Shawn's work (Pacom) and met the workers there, two of which had those wonderful Australian accents.

We stopped by Coral Connection, which is where Shawn has gotten all his advice and help in setting up a salt water tank. He has also designed a nice website for them. www.coralconnectionsarasota.com

Then we went to Siesta Key Beach. This was Mike's first time on the beach. We all enjoyed it very much. The kids took Chewy there and he most certainly enjoyed the beautiful white sand and friendly people. I gathered many shells that I can't wait to wash and sort for my bus kids.

We then drove to Long Boat Key. This was another nice beach though not as deep. I gathered more shells and enjoyed it very much. The water was COLD!!!

On our way home we stopped by the apartments that Shawn and Shannon had lived in before. They are very nice also and not far from Long Boat Key.

We came home and put the Mexican Chicken in the oven to cook and then enjoyed that meal in front of the TV. After supper we watched War of the Worlds and then went to bed.

This is my kind of vacation. VERY RELAXED!! Thanks again, kids.

It is almost over and I look forward to getting back home and back into the groove. Hope Millie and Grandma survived!!!
