Saturday

My true love and I arrived on the Island around 4:15 this afternoon. After checking in and grabbing a free bottle of water, we headed to our Villa. We then walked to the beach so that we could tell the beach chair guys which boardwalk we wanted Thomas's chairs set up at.

Next we returned to the Villa to unpack and put dinner in the crock pot. Then we went for a long walk on the beach.  We immediately came upon a family of deer. We took a selfie so we could prove to our children that we really had arrived. It was such a beautiful late afternoon.  There was even a cool breeze.

After enjoying a dinner of Bucky's BBQ, baked beans, and coleslaw, we hopped on our bikes to find a lagoon.  After less than two minutes of riding, we found one.  We also found a gator - no kidding!  We decided to ride bit further and we came out right in front of the house that my parents used to own a share of.

Sitting on our back deck, we could hear the ocean.  We listened to the night sounds and made plans for tomorrow.

We can't wait for our children and grandchildren to arrive, but I am not going to lie - it is pretty great to have a couple of days just to ourselves. We are truly blessed!
