Family Visitors - Day 3

Today, Andrew woke us at the C&D B&B. Aunt Cathy was at work and Uncle Dave was in the kitchen, about to make breakfast. He asked us what we wanted and I suggested chocolate chip pancakes - Andrew whole-heartedly agreed with this choice.

After breakfast, Dave left to go work on an old Cadillac. After he left, I flipped the channels on his TV and found The Wedding Singer. Since we don't get any channels on our TV, I easily get sucked in whenever cable TV is present. I couldn't pull myself away and we ended up staying until the movie was over.

We finished getting ready, then headed back to the resort. As far as I know, we didn't leave any of our stuff behind this time. We arrived around 1:00. The plan today was to spend some time at River Island. Susan and her mother went to the store to pick up some cucumbers and a few other items. The Pearce family gathered and left for the pool. I decided to wait for Susan to return. I figured it should only take them about 15 minutes to go to the store; after all, it was right at the entrance to the resort. I don't know how long I waited, but at 3:00, they were still not back yet, so Andrew and I went to the pool without her.

The pool was as fun as I had imagined. Andrew put on his life vest and we headed out the on ramp to the river. We didn't have the official, licensed, resort-approved, for-rent, $7-each rafts, so we decided to just walk around the loop; it is only four feet deep at the deepest spots. A nice couple saw our need and offered theirs for us to borrow. We graciously accepted!

After one lap around, we returned the rafts to the nice couple. Walking back the off ramp, we found Susan heading our way. With her, we made two more treks around. After the second loop, we dropped off Andrew with Noemi and headed for the water tube slide. It looked similar to what you'd see in a McDonald's Play Place, but a little taller, with water running through. I was surprised at how fast you could go. I'm pretty sure I pulled two G's on that final turn before being out the end of the pipe. We all went down three times, then convinced Susan to give it a try. We called it quits at 5:00 and returned to the condo.

Dinner tonight was a Hungarian dish that I call 'rumpley-crumpley', for lack of ability to recall its real name. It reminds me of a Hungarian variation on lasagna. It is made with layers of sliced potatoes with sour cream, hard boiled eggs, and pepperonis between. It is delicious. I'm sure I ate more than my share, and I even considered slipping the leftover pan into my bag while no one was looking.

At 7:00, we returned home. Tonight, I'm sitting at my computer desk in Vero Beach once again. We'll be heading back to the resort again on Thursday.
