    We started walking outside instead of the gym because Ralph is just too tall for that elliptical.  It is a cute little town and nice to walk away.  We also started doing a big loop through town then back via the beach.  Everyone is so nice, they all smile and say good morning.  There are some really beautiful homes along the beach and then smaller homes in the town. The Inn has a pool and a sand...

    Got up early and went to the gym, we promised ourselves that we would get 10,000 steps every day. Watching Ralph on the elliptical was terrifying since his head almost hit the ceiling.  We walked into town and found a great breakfast place "3rd Street Cafe". We spent most of the day at the beach which is part of the Inn.  The beach is so clean. Had dinner upstairs at The Pink Elephant, then had...

  • Pink Elephant

    We ate upstairs because they take reservations.  The atmosphere is just OK, crowded and screened in, tables are close together.  Same food as downstairs.

    We rented a golf cart because that is the most efficient mode of transportation. We had great fun cruising around in our cart.   We went to the Pink Elephant for a quick bite, then drove around to get the lay of the land. Had dinner in the hotel dining room. Ralph looked amazing in his seer sucker jacket.  We quickly discovered that we were the youngest people in the place. Tired from travel so...
