Finding Adriana

We are on day 5 of vacation. Tomorrow will be our last full day, then we will leave before 10 am on Saturday. We have had a pretty great time and it has been surprisingly peaceful, a few whines and a couple of "debates" here and there but all in all its been good so far. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday we had rain and storms but yesterday no rain at all. We did have lightning last night, but not any rain.

Tuesday was "out to lunch" day. We went to Popeye's, Ron and the girls had chicken and I had shrimp. It was great. I didn't used to like Popeye's that much, but the shrimp sold me! Then we took at trip to Kmart to take back a pair of flip-flops that Karen had gotten for Adriana. I was afraid that they wouldn't have any here, but they did and they had all different colors in mine and Emily's sizes too. So we got Adriana's green pair to replace the ones that didn't fit, plus she got an orange pair, Emily got a blue pair, and I got some brown ones. Poor Ron, he got nothing. Wellll, not entirely true, the girls bought video games with the money they got from Karen and Phil and he has enjoyed playing those! LOL

After Kmart, we took another pair of flip-flops back to Old Navy that I had ordered Adriana. When we got to Old Navy she said she had too many pairs and she didn't want another pair, so I got some orange ones for me! After that we went and saw The Smurfs, it is such a cute movie. Ron did not want to see it, but he laughed and smiled through the whole thing. I'm pretty sure he liked it too. After the movie, we stopped off by Sam's so Ron could get some huge steaks and that's what we had for dinner, along with a baked potato.

Wednesday, which was yesterday, was "out for dinner" day. We have spent the majority of the morning in the room everyday, its helped us to not get so burnt out. We devised a budget and have done our best to stick to it. Staying in the room has helped with that too. The girls and I hit the beach around 11:00, and then Ron came down soon after. Around 1:00 we came up to the pool while Ron and Emily got ready to go have her 7th grade shots. Yeah, I know, shots at the beach... what a bummer!, but it had to be done!

They came back from the Florida Health Department with STARBUCKS!!!! Yummo! We hung out in the room watching tv and the girls playing Mario, until it was time for dinner. We went and ate at a place called Ocean Buffet. They were having a grand opening, and it was pretty good. On the way there we passed a place that we thought was pretty special....

This sign is special because she can never find anything cool (ie. pencils, magnets, license plates) with her name on it, so a big sign like this with her name on it is awesome, a great find. On our way back to the room we stopped so she could have her picture made with "her" sign! She wanted to go in the banquet hall, but it was closed so she couldn't. Here she is with her sign.

After we went to dinner, the girls decided they wanted to get airbrush t's, so we stopped into an airbrush store and they both got T's and I got a hoodie. We had to leave them there, they were a little backed up, we are leaving in just a few to go get them and I will have pics on here shortly with a post about them. I can't wait to see mine. It's going to be so beautiful, and special.

We came back last night and I tried reading some blogs, but with the crazy wi-fi connections around this place it was hard.

We are leaving now to eat our late lunch and get our shirts. Who knows what else we will get into while we are out!!
