roper romp!

Today was a long and super fun day! Started with sunrise with Kim, shelling with Kim, Sharyl and Angie, lunch, ice cream, shopping and one last swim in the ocean and dressing up as Mrs. Roper from the television show Threes Company. Our group of eight had a wonderful day! 

day 3 at AMI

I got up really early today and noticed the sky lightening so caught the tail end of the sunrise. Then went back to sleep. 

We rode bikes to the beach mid day and spent several hours just bobbing in the waves and having lots of fun. Got to call my Mom and check in with her which was really fantastic. Back to our house for dinner in/showering. Then a nice walk around the tip of the island and a dip in the pool to cool off. We had a nice fire in the outdoor gas fireplace and enjoyed a disco ball light show. 

Now I’m listening to nature sounds and getting ready to rest up for another sunrise viewing. 

fun in the sun AMI edition

Today was long walk and beach day! Got sunburned, got lots of steps, had a fantastic dinner and met some very kind photographers. I have some pretty special friends. 

island days—-fun group third trip at AMI

To celebrate our dear friend Angie Bond’s 50th birthday, a group of 8 friends left her driveway at 5am, were driven to to the MSP airport and flew Sun Country to Tampa where we rented a lovely SUV and Gretchen drove to Anna Maria Island. Lunched at the Ugly Grouper and then checked into our super swank Air Bnb. We had ordered and had groceries delivered to the place so we just pulled in, hit the pool and enjoyed snacks for dinner. 

We hit the beach for sunset! Then I did a little walk app to get my steps. Now we’re settling into our rooms and doing some reading before bed. What a day!
