Sun and Warmth

This is getting (pleasantly) repetitive. Woke up to sun and clear skies with the temperature climbing up into the 70’s again. I noticed back home that they are having yet  another snow storm, hopefully that will be the last one and the weather will warm up before we get back.

This morning we sat around outside enjoying the warmth, the resort is pretty much full, which includes a bunch of kids. Good news is the kids will be leaving tomorrow, hopefully I can say the same for another yappy dog that has arrived opposite us.

After lunch we headed south towards the beach but turned off the beach road  for some geocaching. The road to the beach was busy and slow, this is probably the best weekend this year to go to the beach, combined with the fact that spring break is in full swing every one was heading that way.

We managed a record 10 for 10 on the geocaching, although technically I guess 10 for 11 would be more accurate as there was one cache that we knew where it was, but couldn’t reach it due to all the water in the surrounding ditches.

A couple of the caches were hidden in a area that was obviously being developed as high end housing before the financial crunch hit. All that is at the site is an expensive looking sales office / clubhouse. Hopefully as the economy picks up construction will start up again.

As we drove around a loop back towards the resort we came across just about every type of accommodation possible in just a few miles ranging from high end estate homes down to decrepit trailers.

Tomorrows forecast is for thunderstorms, so maybe the good weather has finished.
