Mood: Tired
Listening to: Numb3rs on TV

Ok, so because I'm overly excited, I wanted to post the pictures from the website of the place we'll be staying next week. Im so proud! It's a *nice* little resort.  If you want to see the website yourself and check it out... click here!!!

 

Now for the pictures!!

 

This is the restaurant inside the hotel called "The Santa Maria." It has a breakfast bar every morning and serves food thorughout the day up until 10pm, I think she said. It's really nice and it's rather affordable. Im really excited to not have to cook so much!! Oh, and it's on like the 7th floor [or so] and has great ocean views while you're eating.

 

This is inside the lounge called "Liquids." This is a coffee and martini bar. It's also inside the hotel. It looks rather relaxing, no?

 

This is the indoor pool that is heated. It has an ocean view and is going to be amazing for the times that I don't want to swim where the fishes use the bathroom, make babies, eat, drink and where sharks will chew you up. Mahahahah!

 

Ok, I know you're like 6 pools outside?! No way! You're right. No way. This is a resort we're staying at and there are several buildings that make up this "hotel." We're in the top left hand corner one. Caravelle Tower. We're within walking distance to these other pools and we are able to use them if we want. Tis a perk, I've been told. :)

 

This is the lazy river! It's goes through the lobby of the hotel even. This is going to be nice. It goes all around the pool. The picture on the right side is for the kiddies to have their own lazy river in the kiddy pool area. Aint that sweet? This resort, if you have children, will plan an entire day for the children to do activities in the "kids club" while you can go enjoy yourself as adults throughout the day. :) I highly suggest this place and I've not been there yet.

 

This is the outside bar and grill. It's poolside. The lil bridge you see in the left picture is how you leave the pool area and get to the beach/ocean. This is going to be nice because it's affordable and serves hotdogs, hamburgers, corn dogs, etc. throughout the afternoons outside by the pool/beach area!

 

This is one of the three hot tubs that are outside. That little house thingy is marco polo bar and grill. *drool*

 

This is the caravelle tower kiddie pool area. Aint it cute? Steve and I won't be going here...

 

This is the Ice Cream Shop outside around the pool. Actually, this particular picture is of a little beautiful girl loving up some ice cream with a butterfly on her face. The building that is Khaki color behind her is the ice cream shop. Mahahahah! Im going to NEVER want to come home!

 

Ok - so there's you some pictures and a website link to our resort hotel thingy place. I have 2 water cameras, 2 normal cameras and 1 black and white camera I'm taking with us. You will have some pictures posted, relatively quick, after I get back. This is all I had to say for this entry.

I'm exhausted. I've done fundraising and walk - a - thon promoting today from 9:30am - 3:00pm. That's a lot of walking and talking. Then, I dropped off Angie and I had to go to the store. I got home, ordered some food cause I refused to cook [yes after I went to the store. i dont care :P] and then I ate. After I ate I got changed and laid down, the phone rang. It was Melanie. I had to go meet the tshirt lady. So, I got back up and got dressed and went and met her. Then I came back, changed and laid back down. Just as I was relaxing, the phone rang. So I got back up and talked for a bit. Laid back down, Otis curled up next to me and one second I was watching CSI [a rerun], and the next minute it was 20 til 10pm! So, now Im going to go watch Numb3rs, even though I've missed the first half of it doing this entry. Ugh. I just remembered! I'll update Sunday before we leave.

 

xoxoxo

A Woman's Poem 
 

 

 

He didn't like my casserole

And he didn't like my cake.

He said my biscuits were too hard...

Not like his mother used to make.


I didn't perk the coffee right

He didn't like the stew,

I didn't mend his socks

The way his mother used to do.


I pondered for an answer

I was looking for a clue.

Then I turned around and smacked the crap out of him...


Like his MOMMA used to do.
