Super 8 Motel - Crestview

... roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts and mozzarella cheese. Delicious! And for the main course mushroom and chicken pasta. Mhm....slept in a bed and it was wonderful. Torrential downpour the next morning. But clear skies after that on our way to Louisiana!!!

... we had a "proper" meal. Fish Bisque whatever that is? Sort of soup, then fresh fish meals which were suburb, I had Grouper stuffed with prawn somethings and Lona had Amberjack which we have never heard of but she thought it was wonderful.
Along with a couple of beers and several Cab Savs it all went down very well.
Was very careful riding back to our motel!! we dined at Staffs and from Dave ...

I'm here for Bridgets wedding staying at a beachfront condo with some other Chicago classmates.  We were all down at the beach catching some rays and Kyle and I decided to throw the football for a bit in the nice clear water.  He dove for a ball and lost his wedding ring in the nice clear water.  We hunted for about an hour in the nice clear water, but were unfortunately unsuccessful.  Helicopters from the nearby airforce ...

The sky is clear and lit by the stars and the moon.  The water is pretty calm and the temperature is perfect.

This is some sort of paradise....

 

Tonight: I walk

When stars can be seen
I take walks
So tonight I walk
My hands and heart open
But not alone
The path below me
An hour glass
Still

Well, this is where we called home until the economy crashed and took my business with it. But that gave us an opportunity and impetus to seek broader learning in Saigon. Of all the places we've lived this is at the top. On the bay, with a yard, dog....the American dream. Quiet town living, safety, low cost of living, only the occasional hurricane. It is a good place. We miss our friends and will return.

... Cory, Matthew, and Nicholas, and of course, who can forget, Grandpa Doug and Grandma Lou Schmuhl.

Lauren will probably get mad at me for not including more detail as to what went on in the week, but it was really just a great relaxing week at the beach. Not a whole heck of a lot of major things happened. We were able to grill out a few nights and other nights go to some local restaurants like The Santa Rosa Beach Club and Harry T's. The Santa Rosa ...

... soft, and the water is calm and very blue, almost turquoise. My grandmother thinks it is the most beautiful beach in the world. Our house was right on the beach, so it was easy to go there anytime we wanted. We spent a lot of time on the beach, swimming in the ocean and digging in the sand. We also rented sea kayaks, which was fun. And we tried out Yolo Boards, which are big paddleboards that you stand up on and paddle around in the ocean. You have to keep your balance or ...

... Navarre, FL, we found out the job was a no go. So....we were so bummed, we didn't explore much further. We headed to our final destination in Philly with the goal of finding a job to finish paying for our explorations. A a result, we are now in philly...finishing the blog we never finished... Sorry for the anticlimactic ending to this adventure. We do promise to ensure our next adventure concludes in a more exciting fashion... -signing off....K&C

Don't blink b/c you just might miss 2 whole states. That's right we're in FL. We didn't leave too much tire rubber in MS or AL. We made an appearance, smelled lots of seafood and entered the pan handle today. The Adventure Maps that we follow had us breeze through these states; less than 30 hours in MS from Thur to Fri, and about 48 hours in AL leaving this afternoon as we crossed an enormous bridge. As the trip has found us in ...

... The thunder and lightening were truly amazing, with thunder so loud it sounded like a rifle blast. Sheree showed up in the SAG vehicle and asked if anyone did not want to ride. Judy and Margaret opted out of riding, and Sheree called Claudia who arrived with the van and trailer shortly thereafter. Judy and Margaret loaded their bikes and joined Claudia on the drive to the hotel. After 40 minutes of waiting, the rain abated enough for us to continue our ...
