Weekend at the coast with Denise and Chip

We were welcomed with flowers and "welcome Dad and Pam" card and towels and map to where Denise worked. Such a sweet warm welcome. 

Lots of special touches just for us. She is so thoughtful. 

There was fruit, veggies, cheese etc. in the refig. Snacks. She thought of everything.

 

 We went to dinner at Beulah's restaurant. 

Looking at the view from the patio.

Saturday Denise brought breakfast taco's and coffee over and then time at the pool followed by a walk on the beach. A fun relaxing and catch up day. Also sat on back patio of condo and there was a breeze. Front porch was probably 10 degrees warmer then back. ??

What a surprise. This was all new to me. I have NEVER seen so many people on a beach except at, Destin, FL.

 Cars were double parked and tents everywhere and wall to wall people.
There were golf carts in town and on the beach. Rentals in town. The place has exploded from the time I've last spend time there during the summer.

It was crowded both ways for what looked like miles. 

Needless to say we walked a little then went back to the pool.

Forgot the camera saturday night, but we had a great meal at Denise and Chip's house. Beef tenderloin, double baked potatoes, mushrooms, and salad. Wonderful meal.

Chesley became friends with Denise's dogs as well as they with him.

 After a round of golf Sunday morning with Chip we ate at Kody's and had some of the best fried shrimp I've had in a long time.

Thanks Goode's for a fun filled weekend.
Much more then we ever expected. You are very gracious hosts.
