Day 4

It's quite a bit windier down here today. Lots of surfers out when we went to eat lunch. Much more wave action. Alot of the folks walking the beaches are bundled up pretty good. A family down on the beach has been building a castle but they came prepared with hoodies and glooves and all.

Trish and I went down there but it was just too uncomfortable to walk on the beach for long.

We've had a good break but before too much longer will be packing up to get ready to leave for home early in the morning.

The Plan Day 3

Yesterday, Day 2 of the plan, was good day. Modifications to the original plan posted yesterday include going to to see Avatar and also eating a giant bowl of spaghetti. Avatar was a way cool movie. I'm sure it'll become one of those classic movies people watch over and over - but it wasn't as lastingly thought provoking as I was hoping it would be. There's a very good story there - including some good performances - but the real "wow" of this movie is the visual realism they brought to a fantasy world. I particularly appreciated the biology of the planet - including all the luminous plants and thought put into the anatomy of the animals - nostrils in neck, 6-legged horses, multiple eyes.

On to Day 3 which started off with a bang when I got up early to go sit out on the back porch to read out by the ocean. It was a little cool, but I quickly nodded off so I consider it a successful morning. The Crab Shack is in the plans for supper.

Edit: Actually it was Floyd's jumbo shrimp for supper. It's next door to The Crab Shack.

The Plan

Since every worthwhile endeavor needs a plan, and since I never have a plan, I figured I'd outline a plan for this year's vacation.

Day 1 "Sunday" was a huge success. Day 1's plan centered around
- getting to the beach
- eating a bunch of shrimp
- putting spanish moss on my head at some point
- drinking a half a box of mountain berry juice
- eating fresh pineapple
- watching "Up"

Here are some of the highlights:








Day 2's plan was considerably more ambitious than the first.
- It starts with a short walk (I'm a short walker, my wife is more of a walker)
- drink some chocolate milk (chocolate milk is a must)
- watch the dolphins
- work on a song or two
- waste time blogging
- waste time on facebook
- sit on the deck
- probably take a nap

Here are some highlights of the day so far:


You might not be able to see the dolphin in this photo but trust me, they're out there... If you look very closely you can probably see them.



If you're having trouble seeing the dolphins I digitally enhanced the photo with the most modern technology to bring out all the details possible. It's still a little blurry, but you can probably see the dolphin in the enhanced photo.
