Yesterday the weather was perfect - light wind, high 70's to low 80's, sunny - and despite earlier plans to attend the Strawberry Festival or hit Busch Gardens we decided it was time for the first beach trip of 2009. Unfortunately a million other Floridians who had missed this kind of weather decided the same and the city of Clearwater has made parking at the beach currently impossible unless you get out there are approximately 9 am.
But that was not too dash our excitement...over to Sand Key we went where the beaches were not so crowded and we had a wonderful time. It was warm but not so hot you feel like you're cooking, the kids played in the sand, Todd and I took naps. They dug holes, looked for shells, played on the VERY edge of the water (it was freezing!).
Afterwards we have a really nice evening with the Wests. Ty and Tristan played with every toy he owns, Rhiannon and I kicked the boys butt in eucher twice, and we had some cake, out of a box but cake nonetheless.
We also looked at a house yesterday that Todd liked, same layout as the one we put an offer on previously. I am trying to look past the work but it has a stained glass window which is one of my pet peeves, pink carpet, pink tile in the bathroom, would need lots of paint, the pool would need massive cleaning, and all the appliances in the kitchen would have to be replaced. Augh! So we're "talking" about it...sometimes rather heatedly, LOL.
