Our first day on Jailbreak was a lot of fun. Well, sorta. Somewhat. Well, it WAS fun. And we all enjoyed it. Even though I lost my glasses somewhere. (ssshhhh haven't told hubby yet) Not a big deal, really. What happened?
Well, We get down here and decide to drive by the house we are 'borrowing' (term we are using to explain why we're here to the little one). Nice house. So then we go to eat. We choose a local cafe and everyone ordered breakfast - except me. I chose a BLT and french fries. After all, I AM on vacation. And it's 11AM. Two have hot syrup in little open containers (you know where I'm going with this, don't you?) for pancakes and french toast. Well, the little one is sitting on my side in the booth, then had to go sit with grandma, so mommy came to sit next to me. (Thank goodness) :-) The little one is sitting on grandma's lap and decides she's going to tease and drink the syrup from the little glass cup.... and I guess it may have been a little too warm for her.... and dropped it like a hot potato! Spilling syrup all over grandma, the floor, herself, the table... oh what a mess from a little syrup pitcher!! Luckily we still had the suitcases in the car so grandma and the little one got to wash up in the restroom and then change clothes. Oh, my glasses, they were sitting next to the wall of the booth during this time. I (thought) grabbed them and off we went.
After we unloaded the suitcases we headed out to explore. Decided to go to Ross nearby, but they had a Peddler's Mall next to it so we thought we'd try that. Reminded me of an antique place I sometimes go to by home. They went one direction, and I went the other. After awhile we decided to leave.... and I realized I didn't have my glasses. In my mind, I had had them on but took them off when I got inside the 'mall'. Back up and down the aisles we went - nope. Daughter called the restaurant. They said none had been turned in. We have looked everywhere and nope, no glasses. I'm not worried as I can see distance now; and I can carry (and usually do) my reading glasses. I can see close up; I just can't read anything. We might check again at the restaurant, just in case I left them on the table, but I did leave my name and number at the antique mall. After a run to goodwill, we headed back to the house.
The house is beautiful and most would love the back yard! It has green turf and ok - let's see. On my right as we go out the door is a jacuzzi. There is a table and 4 chairs on the other side of the patio. Off to the left of that is a gazebo with another set of chairs around it with a nice firepit in the middle. Going away from that is a 6 ft round 'bed' that is half covered with a shade, and has pillows in it (I'm thinking for laying out and looking at the stars). Further back is a very nice bbq pit. Oh, I forgot. Just before the bbq pit there is a 9 hole putt putt. There is also a building that looks like a garage. It is the 'game room'. You go inside it and there is a poker table with chips and cards. There is a pool table and a shuffle something or other. There is also a pac man machine!! My daughter and I had to sit down and play a quick game - wow - it has been a long time and she slaughtered me! I love that game! Used to be pretty good at it. AND, there is a one person sauna in the corner.
After unpacking we headed over to a restaurant for dinner and brought leftovers home. Did a run to the grocery store so we'd have snacks and turnovers for breakfast. Settled in for the evening. I had a funny incident with the little one last night, but I'll share it another time, if I remember. I really do need to write it down for it was funny. She is sneaky.
So here we are this morning. I woke up at my usual 4AM ... but after waking up I told myself that I didn't HAVE to get up early; everyone was still asleep so I could too! And I snuggled down and dozed until slam! The little one was up! LOL She climbed in bed with me for about 15 seconds and she was off again. We've had COFFEE and apple turnovers for breakfast. Yeah, we're being 'bad' - afterall, we are on vacation!
We're all at the kitchen table and making decisions about what we will do today. Eating cold grapes. Drinking my coffee. Glad I brought MY coffee from home; all they have is medium coffee, and in the mornings I need much more. So - I think I'll close this off as we are talking and it is hard to focus (imagine that). Hope you have an amazing day! (I am so loving NOT working today)
Blessings!
