Day 233

Well, I did everything I could think of to post those pics that I have of Sea World...it just would NOT save on my blog, so I had to give up.  They really are amazing though! lol So here we are on Thursday evening.  David and Connor are back and we are down to our last night before heading home.

David and Joel are down on the first floor in the game room.  Mommy's arm is not so great at playing video games, so I was a bit of a disappointment to Joel last night lol.  Hopefully with a handful of quarters, Daddy can play for a couple of hours as I take a long hot bath and Connor tries to go to sleep.  Oh and the bathtub at this hotel...AMAZING!  It is long AND deep and makes for the loveliest of baths that I have had in a long time!

So Joel and I spent most of the day without David or Connor.  We got up, had breakfast, and headed down to the pool with fingers crossed about the weather.  It was so nice!  It was sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and the pool was nice an pleasant.  I swam for a bit, then got out and read the newspaper as Joel swam right in front of me.  He put on swim goggles for the first time!  I was super proud of him!  He dove down and got diving sticks and had a blast splashing around.  I ordered us a lunch of hamburger, chicken fingers, fruit, and fries from the poolside grill.  I also got a virgin Pina Colada....splendid!  We sat poolside and had our delightful lunch, then packed it up and headed to the room for some bath and shower time.  After freshening up, we took the hotel shuttle to downtown Coronado.  We hit the local petshop and got something for our future puppy and my friend's Golden Retriever.  Then we went to the Hotel Del Coronado for some ice cream at the Mootime Creamery and sat beachside and ate while we watched the waves and birds fly by.  Happy moments galore!  We headed down to the shore after our ice cream and did some exploring.  Joel couldn't find any rocks to throw into the waves....that beach is all soft sand and I loved it!  He had fun running in and out of the waves with his feet.  After that, we went back up to the hotel and did some shopping at the stores downstairs.  Joel was such a good kid and we had so much fun having all of that one on one time!

At 4:15, the shuttle picked us up from downtown and we headed back to the hotel.  We hung out in the room for a bit and then Connor and David showed up.  We headed back to the downtown Coronado area and had a great pizza dinner at one of the local restaurants.  It was good to have the family all back together and sitting down to eat.  David got to tell me about his day, and I was able to get a few tidbits of information about Grandma's house from Connor.

It was a lovely day today.  I am enjoying our little break from home and life's stress so much!  Hopefully the weather holds for tomorrow, but there is an 80% chance of rain so we will see!
