Clubhouse/Seacrest Beach North? Beaches?

[Camp Creek Kid]

This is good advice, CCK. We'll give Rocket Lanes a try, most likely when we're there off season sometime (e.g., our February trip). Is Edgewater the same plaza that has a movie theatre (I'm thinking about rainy days, of course).

Paula, it really isn't crowded in-season if you go during the day on a weekday. Its a nice break if you've had too much sun and need an afternoon off from the beach. I've been there many times in the summer and we've had no problems. Rainy days will most likely be quite crowded.

Yes, its by the movie theatres in PCB.

Cork: Lucky you to live there full-time. There should be an icon for "happy for you and envious, too" -- this one will have to do)

Not quite the same if you're not on vacation. Seems like there's never enough time to enjoy it. I told myself that I'm going to the watercolor show this weekend and gotta get back to daily bicycle rides. I just love summer

Thanks GTBM and CCK: Perhaps we'll try it out in June or August when we're there as a family. Sounds like a great place to know about. I was more concerned about the drive to get there in the summer, but maybe it's not as bad as I thought! If it rains when I'm in SoWal in May, I think I'll just sit on the porch listen to the raindrops on the tin roof.

Cork: I certainly understand. It's somewhat the same when you own a vacation place and rent it out. Whenever I go there, I always have a lot to do to keep the cottages in shape (I'm a do-it-yourself-if possible-person) -- maintenance, cleaning, cutting down native thorny vines in the native landscape (those vines are the only annoyance of the native landscape -- everything else about it is wonderful), buying stuff for the cottages, bleaching the white wood on the porch to get rid of the mold at least twice a year, etc. But even with all that, it's great to be there. And I think some of the work is of my own making -- I'm going to try to make myself do less when I'm there and relax even more. But even when I'm working there, the beach/weather/space makes it a wonderful place to be.

Amen to that Paula. I've promised myself that I'm gonna get off this darn computer and start savoring this beautiful place a little more. Just get so focused on work sometimes I forget to smell the roses (or the salt air in my case). So went to the art show today. Saw the movie "inside man" tonight - great movie. Then even went to a great little piano bar afterwards. Even planned a weekend trip with a friend to New York to do the theatre. so that's my first step to letting up on the work and starting to get back into enjoying everything that we're so lucky to have thanks for the reminder

Hey, we saw "Inside Man" last night, too. I thought it was a great movie as well. Very clever plot.

OK, I'm going to commit to so many hours of work when at the cottages (they do need upkeep to keep them in good shape for guests) and then just relax the rest of the time. And I'm going to figure out how to get out of there the morning we leave without getting stressed. And I may eventually break down and hire some of this work out, though I do like getting to know the cottages and their upkeep more intimately. And some of it is good exercise (e.g., the weeding). But then, so is bikeriding or more walks on the beach!

Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Good Idea! A Plan! I've got someone coming in from South Beach tonight so MUST clean. Normally would be on the puter half the day an clean the rest but not today! Quick bite now. Walk on the beach. Be back by 11:30 to clean. I'm outta here. Thanks for the motivation!
