today was a great day! as if the previous four days weren't great as well.. we woke up at 9am (probably won't sleep in once we get home!) and i started making scrambled eggs while andrea got ready. me, andrea and pampaw had a nice breakfast while mamaw got ready. then, we said "bye" to mams and pamps and got ready to hit the road. andrea packed lunch, and we drove to lowdermilk beach/park. it was supposed to be the "pretty" beach but it pretty much looked the same as naples pier beach, but it was less crowded. we sat on our beach chairs so andrea could dip her toes and read her kindle. my chair was just a bit smaller...and i felt like i was sitting on the ground. andrea thought it was funny.
kyle playing in the waves...
we played in the waves, which was an awesome time again, and made sure to apply plenty of sunscreen! we ate lunch then the weather started to turn bad - gray skies and the wind really got going. just as we got to the car, it started to downpour!
once we got home, we relaxed and then got ready to check out some shops at a place called mercato. we got there, but it pretty much looked like any other indoor mall so we passed it up. (later, we found out it's really awesome, mostly outdoors.) we instead decided to go to the waterside shops. this was probably the fanciest mall i've been to - you could eat off the floors it was so clean, even though it was outdoors! there were fountains everywhere and of course, top of the line stores. we stopped in banana republic and ended up having a little shopping spree, mostly for me since andrea is a little "in between" sizes right now. It felt great to spoil ourselves a bit...
we went back home again, and started to make our fancy steak dinner. i manned the grill while andrea made baked potatoes and salad inside. everything tasted great, and it was just nice to spend time with me wife. we ended the night with dessert - apple pie and ice cream. like i said, it was a great day!
