Last Full Day!


Today is the big push to soak it all in! Tomorrow we will get the morning to enjoy and will have to catch our plane home at about 2 in the afternoon. Our colds are still rather prolific and we are looking to nurse everyone back to health when we get home!

The weather has been PERFECT the whole time we have been here. Yesterday at the pool Ella FINALLY had a great time and didn't want to leave. Her friends she met from London even left and she was happy to play games with us. It was a super pool day! She still isn't interested much in the beach which we find odd. What 3 year old wouldn't want to play in the sand? Oh yeah... our daughter.

There has been a LOT of whale watching to partake of. They are very busy breeding and having their calves. It is such a spectacular site to see a full sized whale breach and come down on the water with a splash. We have a great vantage point of the ocean from our condo. If you put your head under the water you can hear the whales talking to each other.

We have a little bird that Ella named Fred that we have been hand feeding. When he sees us here he comes and chirps at us... little begger! He is a gray cardinal with a red head. Not very skittish and is quite friendly. We see him a few times a day. Hopefully the next guests will continue to look after him!

The last few days we have gotten to have some time to ourselves and go sit on the loungers by the water while Ella naps. We had a run there where she wasn't napping well, was a meltdown mess and we couldn't leave. At night we have been leaving Sasa and Ella home to watch movies so we could enjoy dinner with the Hansens, minus a busy body. Movie time at night is something she likes and happily gives us time away.

We have enjoyed dinner at Longhis the last couple nights. It was AMAZING food and a super time. It was great to get out and enjoy some honey time. We do love it here and would love to spend a month or two here during the winter. 12 days is definitely not enough for us to set into any kind of routine and for Ella to adjust to something new. We are probably more tired coming home than when we left... but... we are tan, sunshined up, have eaten some amazing dinners, and have had some WONDERFUL experiences while here!!!
