The Daytona 500 was today, and we can see the stadium from here, all fanned out and open to us. We can hear the cars from here, but we're staying away from all the craziness just across the inlet. In fact, we're quite happy over here where it seems a little quieter. It also seems a bit foggier too. The fog didn't lift until around 3:00 or so, and fairly heavy too. That didn't stop us from going for a walk along the beach, and it certainly didn't stop Madison and Daddy from a visit to the indoor pool downstairs. We spent our time playing "Yes and No" or "Marco Polo," which she loves to play. We had the whole pool to ourselves, too!
We had pancakes this morning, and a nice, relaxing day again. We were playing board games and writing poems for the yearbook, plus watching the Olympics with biathlon and speed skating, which was hilarious because of the guy that got the racers set on the line. He sounded like a really timid version of Lurch from "The Addams Family," along with bit of an accent. We'd look forward to each race, just because shortly before it, this guy would quietly call out, "Rea-dy." And we'd all crack up. It has become a catch phrase for the weekend.
It was a quiet day again, one that had us walking along the beach a few times, looking for shells and splashing in the waves. No dolphins today, but there were the usual surfers, and the usual miss of the ice cream truck on the beach. It seems to know when we're back up in the condo, and then you hear the music and see the truck roll by. One of these visits, we'll catch it. We'll be "Rrea-dy."
Tonight, we had dominos, and just a lot of talking with the grandparents, which was great because we haven't been with them in a while. It might have been September, I think, when they were up here. Since then, we've just been busy with practices for ballet and that sort of thing. But this was a good weekend to head down. They'll be back up in a few weeks, and then we'll be back down again, so that will help compensate for such a short visit this time. But even with the foggy beach, it's still a good day here.
