You guys got me thinking....I never checked his pockets, and the suv owner was a young guy with tattoos. I promise to try and get an update in today.The bad thing about being gone for 6 days and being self-employed, is all the work that piles up when you're gone.Don't abandon me now, we've got a lot still to do! ^-^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Who's ready for a quickie?When I left you last, Amanda's mom drove over for the evening and the kids planned to take her to Old Town for the car show. We love Old Town, but leave that for when we stay at Tropical Palms and can walk or bike there.First they took Ginger out looping.Here's a couple of pics that Amanda took at Old Town.They ate dinner in Old Town and Nate ordered a 1lb sausage sandwich!! It was so huge he couldn't finish it and brought half of it home.Ginger had a chicken sandwich, which she brought a piece of home to Mason. :heart:Meanwhile, back at camp, I was still full from my ginormous waffle so the hot dogs & brats that we had planned to cook stayed in the fridge. Trevor opted for a leftover buffalo chicken sandwich instead.We took Mason out for an after dinner walk, where I saw this cute sign in front of a MH.Once Mason was settled in and worn out, Trevor and I had some fun of our own. I will share that with you in the next update, along with some evening around the fort pics.I leave you with a tired but content pup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stefa70 205 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Cute sign!Kind of looks like your cart leaving my site on punch nights. Old Town looks niceGreat time and only about 5 miles from the Fort. Saturday nights they have over 200 cars ('71 & older) that cruise the cobblestone streets.Love that face!Thanks Gwen, me too! :heartsmiley: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Old Town sounds like good times. I love old cars and I love cobblestone and/or brick streets....sounds like my kind of place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stefa70 205 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Old Town sounds like good times. I love old cars and I love cobblestone and/or brick streets....sounds like my kind of place.If you love old cars, you would love it! A lot of those folks take their collections very serious, and you'll often see the same people there every week.There's also a lot of neat little shops, although the kids said some of them are gone now (darn economy!)can I borrow Mason? he just looks so sweet and tired and loving..sorry, we were on the road during the actual updates and my phone wouldn't download the pictures.No problem Nicki, there's still a lot of pictures coming.You may borrow Mason, but you should know he's very high maintenance! I have to check out Old Town someday. looks fun. And the sausage sandwich looks huge!I know I want that sandwich .Dave your kids would love Old Town. There's also a small carnival area with rides, and a Fun Spot (with go karts, bungee jump type rides....)That sandwich was as big as his head, literally! I think he paid $10 for it, so definitely a cheap alternative to WDW food.Update coming momentarily... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I will bring him back for the maintenance. I just want the love. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Time for an update before Raceday starts.Since the kids are gone and Mason is resting comfortably in the air conditioning, Trevor and I ride down to the beach. How cool is it to relax on a quiet, peaceful beach while thousands of people are just minutes away?!We try, at least once every trip, to buy an overpriced foo-foo drink at Crockett's and sit on the beach.The Settlement area was hopping tonight!I found us two chairs under some pine trees, and Trevor walked up to get drinks.You'll see in my pictures that there were only a few other people on the beach at the time, but some dude decides to cop a squat right in front of my chair to take pictures. So I took his picture!I enjoyed the view of the water while waiting for my cocktail.My Pina`Colada was served and my adventurous husband ordered a Coors light (which we had a case of in the cooler at camp )Salut!I then texted Nathen this picture.And asked him "Do you like Pina`Coladas?" "and getting caught in the rain?"(come on, who doesn't like that oldie, but goodie?)While we enjoyed our drinks, the line on the dock grew and grew. This boat to MK left completely fullWhile the dock still looked like this.I was happy to be relaxing in my lounge chair instead of headed to the MK.It wasn't long before the next boat arrived to herd the rest of the people on.Even the playground was a happening place.But we had our quiet spot on the beach to ourselves.TCD may like his "Sunrise over....(insert object here)" pictures, but I'd like to share "Sunset over lounge chairs"Nothing left but the birds.Now that the sun was down and my cup was empty, we do some evening looping.Stay tuned for more Fort pictures, including where half of the Fort's guests are on a Saturday night!

AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Another great update. That definitely looked relaxing. It's a good thing you were wearing those shades or you would have been, "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce..........." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Great update, Stef!! I agree, quiet time on the beach, drink in hand and watching the sunset is a great way to spend an evening! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always that it was "wrapped up like a douche...." :rofl2:Great update, Stef!! I agree, quiet time on the beach, drink in hand and watching the sunset is a great way to spend an evening!Thanks!
