Marco Island- Part 1

Last Tuesday morning Darcy & I flew into Fort Myers where her Grandma Kay and great aunt and uncle, Bill & Sandy picked us up. They have a condo down in Marco Island which is where we stayed for the week.

Atlanta airport. We had all carry-ons and I had a few too many bags so Darcy had to take one of mine so I wouldn't get in trouble. :)
It's the ocean!!

We got in early afternoon, so we were able to lay out for about an hour and soak up some sun. Then we went out for pizza with some of their neighbors, Caroll & Louise.
Oh, and how could I forget? We went to Caroll & Louise's after for Dominos. A game that never ended. It's kind of an inside joke, but Darcy & I weren't the only ones who didn't exactly want to play Dominos. :)
Our first whole day, Wednesday, wasn't the nicest. Bill made us some amazing omelets. It was rainy in the morning and then overcast the rest of the day. We just relaxed. We went on a walk on the beach in the afternoon once it cleared up a bit.
We went to Naples for church that night, which is held at a hotel. We were only 45 minutes early... that's watcha get when you ride with old people to church. :) They may be old, but oh my, they crack me up. Bill & Sandy and Kay, who we stayed with, always made it lively and it was never boring. And we never ran out of stuff to talk about.
There was pretty much all old people at church, except a few visiting young ones. It's almost like a social event. They have dessert, water, and coffee afterwards, and they're all such good friends.
I got to see and talk to the three couples we stayed with last year when I was down there with the 8 of us girls. When we were stranded? Yeah, they didn't forget us. They are so much fun.
That night I drank a lot of coffee. They told me it was decaf... but it looks like the hotel made the wrong kind. So I was up late and energetic that night when we got home. :)

Thursday was a beautiful day, our best day of the trip. It started off with a walk on the beach, then crepes made by Bill. He just took care of us, it was great.
We spent most of the day by the pool. Sandy & Kay even joined us every day.

One thing I love about staying with older people is they don't eat much lunch and then eat a good dinner super early

We went out at a fish place where I had really good grouper. It was even right on the water which was neat.
Then we went shopping and around time to avoid another game of Dominos. :)

A gorgeous shopping center.

There's my first 3 days of Florida... more coming! :)
