Sleep-over/Date night


Note: the photos are not mine but they are of the places described. They have been chosen for how well they represent what we saw that day. They will be replaced with CBuxton originals when I get a chance to upload to a computer.

The day dawned windier than we had seen so far. It is a beautiful sight with true blue skies and the golf course across the way from us. The hotel is situated up on the top of a hill on the north end of the island. You could clearly see there were more whitecaps on the ocean this morning. The buffet offered small suprises this morning but Sean was still thrilled to have red juice and pancakes for breakfast. We have sort of staked out a breakfast table and our morning ritual is predictable.

After brekkie we were off to explore the legendary White Beach and its fine, fine sand. We were not disappointed. It really is beautiful and the tide was just right for exposing a grand sandcastle playground. Sean was off to try the sand and I headed back to pick up all the stuff we had forgotten; water, playtoys, swim-shorts, and sunscreen! When I returned some beach chairs had been secured and Sean had been into the water already. We built sandcastles, enjoyed coconut shakes and played with the local kids as the breathtaking day unfolded. I tried some skimboarding... ouch, and took lots of pictures.

We had Mongolian bbq for lunch and then it was nap time! I napped with Sean, I don't know which of us fell asleep first, and Karla had a massage! Ruth had been kind enough to offer to watch Sean so that Karla and I could have a date. We were outta dodge as soon as the opportunity presented itself and we had a relaxing date, walking along the beach watching the setting sun, Mexican food for dinner and then back to our hotel to watch channels other than Disney! It was nice to be able to talk and listen without any other pressures, we are on vacation now...
