Another Beautiful Beach Day, but Last Day with Barry and Deb!

Ken and I were up around 6:45, cooked breakfast, and got ready to go to the beach.  It was a warm sunny morning and we were excited to have another day at the beach.  Ken emptied the tanks and then we headed to Wal-Mart, about 2 miles from the CG, to get a few groceries.  Wal-Mart will be more of a trip when we are at Pine Island!

By 9:30 we were on the beach at Lowdenmilk Park in Naples  It was alittle cool when we first arrived, but in no time the sweatshirts were gone and bathing suits were the attire of the day!  Ken got his 10,000 steps by walking the sidewalks of Naples checking out all the huge homes and beautiful condos and hotels.  I read the 1st hour and then took a long walk on the beach.  This beach has so many kitten paw shells of all sizes and some different colors.  I find it interesting how each beach seems to have a "shell specialty"!  We enjoyed eating our packed lunch and relaxing by reading.


Just a few photos of the "small" houses in Naples!



Ken walked to Naples Pier from Lowdenmilk Park, about
a 5 1/2 mile round trip!

It is a beautiful beach with so many kitten paw shells of
all sizes!


Back to Waldo to shower, vacuum, and Ken made a double batch of sex on the beach via Deb's request.  She thinks Ken makes the best drinks!!!!  I would agree!  We left at 2:45 to go to Deb and Barry's CG.  Deb was cooking dinner for the 4 of us.  We had a nice time sitting outside chatting, then having a delicious dinner complete with key lime pie, followed by 3 games of Skip-Bo of which the women won two!  Go ladies!!!!  We gave them a gift card to Starbucks, just about their favorite place to go.  Mocha Frappe here they come!!!!  


We got to enjoy this hawk while sitting
outside at Barry and Deb 's!


This bird was visible while we were
sitting outside too!  Looks like a bluebird
to me, but I am not good with
"bird identification"!


We left around 9:15 after sharing a wonderful week with special friends.  We appreciate their hospitality and willingness to show us new places and old favorites around Naples and Marco Island.  It was a special time!  Looking forward to a repeat meeting next year!

  1. Okay...a few things. You are right, that is a bluebird and not that you asked but Fred & I agree that the hawk is a Cooper's Hawk. Beautiful pictures as usual!
    Also, I wanted to know....do Deb's drinks last as long as yours?
    And....last but definitely not least...we leave in 11days!!! (And it's snowing now :( again)
