Beach Weekend

After a week trying to adjust my wake up time, it was nice to spend a little more relaxation time.  Daniel's mother, Donna, was offered a place to stay when her friends were going out of town. The house was on the  bay and just across the street from the beach. They had a pool to swim in along with the easy beach access.  Spent Friday after my internship there.  Daniel's extended family came out and we went to the beach. Noah (Daniel's little cousin) tried to surf a little, well rode on the board. After watching the sun go down, had dinner at the house.  Hot dogs, burgers, beans and corn.  Spent time laughing and watching some TV then bed time.

Next day was a whole lot of relaxing! Woke up to some donuts that Mrs Lynch had gotten for us, then it was time to get into the bathing suit.  Had a nice walk on the beach with Mrs Lynch and her friend Alicia while the guys got tried to wake up a little. Then it was back to hang out by the pool.  After laying out, many "cannonballs" and "can openers"  later, Daniel and I decided to go to dinner on our own to Grimaldi's, a pizza place in Bell Tower.  We actually agreed on toppings too! :)  Tried to beat the rain for some ice cream back on the beach, but couldn't.  Hung out at the house until bedtime.

Being silly

Sunday, I had to wake up early to be at JUSTICE at 6:30am for Floorset which was hard to do. But I made it.  Worked until 10:30am then back to the house to sleep a little.  Woke up in the afternoon to more people.  Matt, Jess and Jackson Lynch came to hang out and swim.  Had a good time battling each other in the pool and kickin' the boys' butts in volleyball.   It was a bummer that there was not a lot of sun, but it didn't stop anyone from jumping in. After swimming, Matt, Jess and Jackson left and we ate dinner and I skyped my Mom for a bit. Shared with her one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.

Watched Marley and Me with Mr and Mrs Lynch then headed home.  Watching that movie didn't help with my homesick, but it's a good movie. Missing my family and dogs very much.
