"Pale invaders and tan crusaders are worshipping the sun; On the corner of walk and don't walk somewhere on U.S. 1" ~ Jimmy Buffett "Floridays"
Settling into a lifestyle of Rest & Relaxation has fortunately been very easy for De'Lisa and me. The kids, not so much. They want to "go somewhere" and "do something", they said as De'Lisa and I lay by the pool, eyes half open. I tell them we have gone somewhere and we are doing something - but I also remember being that age so tomorrow we shall "go somewhere" and "do something."
But for today, we shall relax outdoors, alternating between the pool and the beach as the kids nurture their sunburn (minor, but sunburn nonetheless) in our suite. Rain showers were more plentiful today, and we even had a flash of lightning that launched a tsunami of people up the pool steps as we exited the water. Fortunately it was just a passing storm. It provided a nice, cooling breeze as we relaxed in the shade of our large pool umbrella.
I finished "Killing Lincoln" by Bill O'Reilly and highly recommend it. Other than that I enjoyed watching the people: families with children of all ages, older couples, all enjoying the amenities that the Edgewood has to offer. I also notice many different languages being spoken - mostly Spanish and French.
We all wanted to get away for a bit, so for dinner we ventured to a local pizzeria called "Cosmos". Keith ordered a large white pizza and managed to eat half of it. De'Lisa enjoyed chicken Marsalis, Olivia tried a delicious pumpkin ravioli, and I opted for spaghetti with tomato sauce and homemade meatballs. Family owned with everything homemade, we enjoyed stellar service and a fantastic dinner with enough leftovers to cover lunch tomorrow.
We arrived back at the hotel in plenty of time to enjoy the evening sunset. This time, clouds obstructed the direct view, but the colors playing in the clouds as the sun settled into the horizon were beautiful to behold. Accompanied by a glass of cabernet and a Baccarat cigar, it was perfect.
