This year was the year for the Martin beach trip, however due to Papa being the hospital when we had planned to go and the challenge of multiple families schedules we did not all have an opportunity to rebook. So, we went later in the summer with just our family of four. This was the first vacation we have done without family or friends. It was a wonderful experience. Even with the forecast of rain we were excited to have the time to rest and relax and were hopeful we would get time at the beach and pool. It was a great week!
We spent time at the beach or the pool every day, did bike riding, fed the horses, spent some rainy time inside watching an old show "Family Matters", enjoyed a Java Java or two, nd enjoyed some good food.
A few funny things from the week:
-- Most used statement "lets see what the radar shows". Given the rain and storms off and on, we checked often to plan the day.
-- Maggie at dinner she ordered "I would like the kids fried shrimp with a side of shrimp". That girl! She loves her some fried shrimp.
-- The Tahoe has a WIFI hot spot which was great for the trip with music, videos, and games. Maggie when we hit a dead spot assumed the rest of us were taking all the capacity "you are using all the WIFI".
