serninWasn't ready when my momma arrived, but she had generally accepted that I would be in piddle mode, so it was ok.
Did the things that were still left on the do-before-leaving list and headed to the convenience store for cold bottles of diet coke for the road. Lucky that I remembered the forgotten swim suit, si ce we were just a minute away from the house.
Went downtown to hug a work friend and get my work travel bag (with the gps and my sunglasses) then headed southwest.
Easy driving for my momma as I finished the knitting on the booga bag (!) and read part of my latest entertainment weekly. The gps led us a scenic northern route to avoid ugly interchange traffic. On checking into the resort, a lady brought us very cold bottles of water and apples.
The room is nice, with that calming smell that I just love and the amaZing bed that I will be buying for my bedroom.
We took an hour nap, and used the gps and my phone to find a place for dinner. I really enjoyed the place (link to be added later) with all the kitch on the walls and family style servings. The garlic mashed potatoes were the best I have ever put in my mouth.
After dinner we went to Target to purchase the third twilight book in paperback, sunscreen for my Nordic native American skin, snacks, and a 12pack of diet coke. We returned to the room and read until we were sleepy.
Good sleep, and a cold diet coke, I was ready to go to the pool. It is a fabulous pool with lots of room, and really comfortable lounge chairs. The water temp was perfect, and I mixed floating and swimming for a while then laying on the chair for a while. I hope to go again tonight before bedtime.
Plan for the afternoon is lunch then Ikea, reading, and maybe a nap.
