Going to try anything new in SoWal this year?

[Mermaid]

I'm adding one more important thing to my list. I'm not going to sit around saying "Oh, we'll try that restaurant the next time we're at the beach." I said that about Lake Place and now it's burnt up and who knows when I'll get the chance to enjoy a meal there.

Same thing with shopping at the beach since it seems like so many shops change hands or move or close.

I have two things on my list that I've never done in all the years we've been visiting the beach.

1. I'm going to learn how to kiyak (and maybe I'll even learn to spell it right). Gypsea told me she gave it a go over Christmas week and it was lots of funn, so I'm going to give it a whirl, too. I'd love to skim over the waters of Western Lake.

2. I'm going to go hiking. There's a trail opening just west of WaterColor. Think what a good morning that would be--park at WaterColor, grab a muffin at the market there (strictly for energy, you understand ) and then walk down towards Western Lake to pick up the trail.

Anyone else have plans for something new in 2006?

Well then, it's all the more reason for Merman and I to scoop you up in Nashville on our way to the beach--with kayaks in tow!!!

--Mermaid, I want to kayak too, that's probably first on my list.
--I want to get the nerve someday to go to a fancy place like Fish Out of Water, because I hear the food is amazing.
--I'd like to catch a Seaside Rep Improv Comedy show.
--I want to go to a bon fuego on the beach!
--But mostly, I'd like to make a point to meet more SoWallers next time

I want to go on a good beach walk every morning- half by myself, half with Bdarg. There is so much togetherness on family vacation that I really need some alone time occasionally!

Many times the kids and hubby are body surfing or skim boarding and I walk the beach alone. I absolutely LOVE it. It is a time when I feel closest to God and nature. What an awesome creation He has given us.

Oh Steele Mama! We went on Sunday and spotted Grayton Kid. We had a blast with him. He does think we are a little crazy though. After New Year's Eve and 2 mimosas (the big ones) we were a little punchy. I saw him and yelled Grayton Kid and he hid from me. So I chased him down. He had a lot of questions for us...and I was very shocked to hear he was only 10! What a cool kid. He totally "gets" it. Not to mention...he played a trick on Whitey and I that got us both out of our chair very very quickly!

Of course we saw Steeling1 and 3. I know Steeling2, but didn't see her down this trip!

Kimmi - Just saw your message. I did hear about his trickery. I'm so glad y'all got to meet. He certainly can be entertaining. Sounds like you had quite a Holiday! Sorry I missed all that funn. NEXT TIME!!!
