Another Gorgeous Beach Day, But Sad That It is Fred and Doloris Last Day!

Ken and I were up at 7:15 and while I got ready Ken got breakfast prepped! What a guy!  We packed our lunches and then I got caught up on my blog!  We left at 9:15 and drove to Manasota Beach. It was in the upper 50's when we got up and went to the upper 70's during the afternoon.

Fred, Doloris, Ken and I arrived at the beach parking lot at the same time!  Amazing!  It was the nicest day since Martins arrived and we were all so excited to spend their last day in Florida on Manasota Beach.  They enjoy looking for sharks teeth as much as Ken and I do!  It is so addictive!  We spent very little time in our chairs because t  he sharks teeth and shell pieces kept calling us to the shoreline!  We had so much fun and found 100's of teeth.  John and Cindy joined us on the beach at 10:45 and it was so full that John had to park across the bridge!  Cindy and John left around 4:00 and we were on our way back to Waldo by 5.  Fred and Doloris stayed a bit longer, after all, this is their last beach day before going back to the freezing cold weather!  

The Happy Beach Goers! 

These pictures show how crowded the beach was today!

They came to Waldo to join us for dinner and we were able to eat outside!  As soon as we finished eating (large salads) we sadly said our good-byes.  We were so glad they spent these days with us and we had so much fun showing them all our favorite things in the Venice area.  They are very special friends.

Ken and I cleaned up and spent the evening relaxing and watching the Oscars. We will have to come up with an agenda for this next week here at Ramblers Rest.  We will definitely spend time with Cindy, John, Ernie and Noela who are camping at Harbor Lakes about 20 minutes away.  Tom, Becky, Paul, Deb, Larry, and Marie are staying here at Ramblers Rest so we will hopefully see them too!  It should be another fun-filled week!
