Monday, April 25

Gorgeous Monday.....Mark and I started our day working out in the fitness center - windows all around with palm trees and beautiful deep pink flowers for a view (not quite like what we have with Larry)!!!  Today was extraordinary in the colors of the sea as they went from a light turquoise, to deeper turquoise to royal blue to navy blue - unbelievably beautiful!!!

Gorgeous fowers right outside our door

Many of these orange bushes around the Beachcomber

Near the pool

Headed to the beach/pool and snorkeled (I have not done this since 1995 in the BVI, so needed some practice and then ahhhh....so fun!)    Michael, Brooke and I went for a long walk on the beach - several cruise ships came in today in the downtown area.  From 2-3 miles away, we could see them from our condo.

After lunch, we all took a break doing whatever - catching up on e-mails, reading, playing games, etc.   We all left at 12:30ish and Mark went diving and Michael and Drew, snorkeled by the "Kittiwake", a Navy submarine rescue ship that was sunk in January specifically for diving and a tourist attraction.    They had a great time.

Davis, Brooke, Pat and Brady

Grandpa and Drew back from a great time in the water - Drew was sooo excited and is ready

 to take scuba lessons!!!

Brooke, Davis, Brady and I snorkeled at Smith Cove - didn't see too many fish, but lots of coral rock formations.   It was just an awesome day of perfect weather and "Fun in the Sun".   

Tonight we had a wonderful dinner at The Wharf on the water with pretty sunset.   The boys enjoyed all the tarpon swimming nearby.  Played 5-handed euchre with Drew winning the first game and Brooke, the second.

The kids spent their honeymoon here in 1998 - lots of changes but still as beautiful as ever!
