Spent time daily in the pool!!

 Spent about 2-3 days with Bobby and Marty Pearson.  Pool, eating out, shopping.






Marty and I visited the Turtle place.






























Leaving Texas each summer, we don't get to the beach.  Love it here.  So beautiful. We rented a Jeep for a day and went off the beaten path,,,,fewer people,,, but more jelly fish, some guys caught 2 sharks out in a boat...more seashells.
