Girls’ Week - Day 3
After a fun day in St. Augustine, we decided to relax and hang out at the pool. We got some bloody mary’s from the restaurant and headed out to the pool. After a while, we decided we needed some more beverages, so Mom and I hopped in the van and headed to the liquor store for some margarita mix, wine coolers, and beer. While we were out, we decided we should grab some lunch for everyone, so we drove to BW3 by the hotel to get some wings. For all of you Ohio State fans out there, the BW3 on Baymeadows in Jacksonville is an Ohio State hang out. OMG! I walked in to a sea of red and white. I ordered a gazillion wings and a couple salads to go, and hung out to watch the show . . . the show being a bunch of crazed Ohio State fans watching a football game on 47 big screen TVs. When Ohio State scored a touchdown, BW3 even played their fight song! And of course EVERYONE stood up and did the O - H - I - O at the appropriate time. THEN, a guy stood up on his table with a microphone to rally the crowd with a pep talk over the restaurant speakers! I was flabbergasted. My food was ready and I bolted.
We got back to the pool, ate lunch, and started to play cards. Some people read, some people played cards, and one person braved the cold pool water.
You might be a redneck if . . .
 
You’re 30 minutes from the beach but choose to hang out at the Holiday Inn pool all day drinking out of plastic cups.
We really did have a great time, and it was fun and relaxing. It was one of those hang out days so you don’t need a vacation from your vacation when you get home. Later in the afternoon, we all cleaned up and headed to the grocery store to get supplies for a BBQ at Dale and Mickey’s house. That was lots of fun, and relaxing as well! The food was yummy, the company was great, and we were all rested up for an early morning departure for our 8 hour drive to Carolina Beach.
Check back tomorrow for Day 4!

Sounds like a perfectly relaxing and restful day! We all need those. What a great time you seem to have had on your trip! Can’t wait to hear about day 4.
P.S. I wish I was at that sunny pool with a plastic cup in hand! I could use that right now!
Oh yeah- don’t worry about not having a tree! i understand. When Ashlyn was little (8 months old) we didn’t get a tree because she was mobile by then (yeah- she has been going since the beginning!) and we were worried she would pull it down, etc. And seeing as she wouldn’t remember it- we opted to skip it that year. We take our tree down the day after Christmas because of traveling to see relatives, etc and not being home. So, I understand. The little trees in the kids rooms sounds fun! Maybe when A and R are older, I will have to do that- how cozy to have a tree light up in the corner of your bedroom! Bonus- built in night light!
What an awesome time you all had! Wow! Everyone needs that every now and then. The whole beach thing, that dosn’t make you a redneck it makes you a “Relaxation Technician”!
