Mid Vacation Check In

Our internet is super sparatic and SLLLOWWW in our final beach house.  But, that's kind of been a nice thing.  Less of us on the iphones and ipads and more of us actually having conversations and such.  But, getting a blog up or sending any work emails is a problem.  :-(

A little bonus for this last part of the beach stay.....we actually reserved one of the smaller houses (smaller out of the two we have stayed at before).  But the owner was super nice and gave us the bigger house since we were so flexible and didn't mind hopping around a couple of days.  And we got the cheaper price, too!!!  So the kids have their own bed and room and bathroom.  And we also have a mudroom (maybe it's called sandroom here) and a washer and dryer!! :-).

**WILL PLACE VIDEO OF HOUSE HERE WHEN INTERNET IS BETTER

Yesterday morning we spent alot of time on the beach.  The waves were HUGE!!! And we spent alot of time playing in them.  Some of our exercises included swimming in the waves, running against the currents, and jumping the waves.  We were WORN out after three hours of beach play. 

We came back in for lunch but right afterwards and got a nap in.....then Todd and I walked back down by ourselves to sit for a good hour and a half.  NICE!!!!!

Last night we met up with some friends that we know from playing Mudcat Baseball.  They told us about a neat place called Baytown Wharf.  It was super nice and had plenty of stuff for the kids to do too: rock climbing, ropes course, park, etc.  It was a higher end place with several neat shops and some great restaurants. Todd and I splurged a little bit and ate more than we have been in the last 11 days.  We were both ate over our calorie count for the day---by about 200 calories, but my protein and veggie intake was great and very little fat.

We had calamari, salad, and grouper!! It was DELISH:-).

Today we plan rest a bit...  We will cook chicken and prepare oysters.  I have already gotten a 6mile run in, 2 mile walk with Todd in, and did 152thrusters and 60strict press.  

I will also get some work done today---send work emails.  And read!!! READ FOR FUN!!!

LOVE VACATION!!!
