Turkey Day Getaway: Day 1

We worked hard to get to the condo for a few days this week!
Tuesday looked like this: School, Work, Farm, Sign Land Loan Papers,
Sam away game at WRV THEN we left for Florida.  
Yep, we left after Sam's 6th grade game.
Mom (the girl) thought MAYBE we could leave after school and miss one game.
Dad (the guy) and Sam (the player) informed me we don't miss games unless it is really necessary...
and he had a great game so I would have hated to miss it!
We headed south and I rested while DH drove until 1:30 when we reached Alabama and then I drove until 4:30 while Dan slept and we stopped to change drivers...we rolled in at Sunrise
and that first glimpse was so relaxing!  
It made our unconventional trip down very worth it!
 The boys slept nearly the entire trip down, ate zero snacks or drinks
so they were up for the day while mom and dad relaxed a bit.
Ahem, dad slept.
This is where they spend their time in the condo - always here together.  Love.

I finally got moving and was very thankful for the coffee stash in the owner's closet!


Mid morning, we headed down to get our beach fix.  





 It was cool and cloudy but we still could not resist.
It was still 30 degrees warmer than home!
 And my toes were in the sand.

 It was freezing in my opinion, but it did not matter.  There were others in the water.
We decided they were also from Indiana (wink)

 We headed up to the heated pool and the sun ALMOST came out.
It was much warmer by the pool (less ocean breeze)
 DH joined us and we enjoyed the day away!
He grilled us some burgers while Joe and I went to the grocery store.
Delicious beach side lunch!
 Our evening was full of racing, a favorite and a must!
New this year was the slick track!
And Joe was warned twice for his aggressive driving on the family track, ha!
 This guy passed all the other single cars to get up to Dad and Joe in the double cars.
I love watching them and giving a recap.
 We tried a new restaurant (to us).  We loved the atmosphere.

 I tried Lobster Mac and Cheese - delicious!
And DH had Swordfish that reminded him of Barlean's Fishery in WA!
 And we ended up right back where we began.  
Melt my heart!
