Still in Paradise

Here are the boys exploring caves on Treasure Island beach.
Mommy and L playing on the sand.
L-boy brave as can be.
Dinner at the park overlooking the ocean.  D made salmon, mushroom risotto, and steamed green beans.  Yummy!
Just the two of us!  The boys are resting in the stroller.


It is another beautiful afternoon in LB.  I am out on our balcony watching the ocean waves roll in and out and listening to Sade Live on a DVD.  D and L are playing the tub and E is entertainment himself with an assortment of toys.  This morning, we work up at around 7:45.  After breakfast,  I took a four mile run, and D and the boys went swimming in the ocean.  L is getting to be quite a novice in the ocean with all this exposure.  We met back at our "treehouse" as L calls it and went swimming.  The pool here is so nice!  Then, lunch and now it is time for naps.  D and I have played many hands of cards while we are here, and that has been SO FUN.  And tomorrow we leave!  I have asked the front desk if there is any availability to extend our stay, but my guess is there is none as of yet.  I am comforted by the fact that we are due to return in November for my birthday...number 33!  

Here are some of our highlights from yesterday...
1.  Took L and E to Treasure Island beach right down from the Montage Resort and Spa, thee most expensive hotel I have seen thus far--rates $695-795/night!!!  
2.  Explored caves and swam in the ocean
3.  Watched the sunset from a beach just down the road from us
4.  Walked to the tidepools and touched sea urchins and hermit crabs...this was L's favorite
5.  Finished the evening with a bath and Finding Neverland--such a cozy movie for the three of us

The "just the 2 of us picture" looks like you are college students...it's very cute...God has blessed you both with yourful looks as you age. It looks like you are going to park by the beach and do "you know what" in the back seat of a car. :)

the other comment was supposed to be "youthful" not "yourful"
