By the way, I took this pic the night before your arrival and put it on Facebook, but I guess you are not doing much facebooking now.

Your so sweet! I just saw it this morning....thank you! It looks pretty awesome in person as well! :cool:

I know you all are having a blast - rain or shine! so good to see you all yesterday! we'll come find you later on...:D enjoy your vacation - you deserve the hail out of it!

Yes, having a wonderful time. Since the weather was so windy, cloudy yesterday we decided to ride around. We had breakfast at the Red Bar with The Kitty, DD, and Sunkist. It was just wonderful as always.

Went to the Seaside Farmers Market and then Modicas, I introduced myself to Deli Love...what a sweetie she is. Got to hug a handsome WDarg as well. :love: Next it was off to Sundog books, I just love that place. Then we strolled around Ruskin place, I had never been there before. Some pretty shops in there. I really enjoyed that.

Came back to the Villa's and decided despite the weather we were going for a walk on the beach. It was VERY windy, but we battled through it and I am glad we did. Had a wonderful surprise visit from the Mer people. Great to be able to sit and chat with them. :love:

Later in the afternoon we rode East through Alys Beach. It is such a beautiful place. Drove around through Rosemary Beach and really loved the feel of it. I had never been there and was really surprised by the European feel of it. It was lovely.

We decided we were going to dine at Shorty's and it was good. Glad I finally went there. We had the sweetest little waitress. The service and food was good. I had the Softshell Crab on cheese grits, Kelly had Gumbo, a salad and we shared some Tuna dip. Sara had a steak that she said was good as well. Good dining experience.

I went over to the Red Bar store to get a new shirt and sticker for my car. Came back to the Villas changed clothes and Sara and I went to Pandora's to meet up with some special SoWallers. So glad to finally meet Seagrovegirl and Tillerjeff. Got see my Kitty, DD, Sunkist, Franny, Canuck, the Mer people, SWGB, and Destinscuba. :love: Had a wonderful time. Back to the Villa's then off to bed for hopefully a beautiful day on the beach today!

:clap:Great trip report and can't wait to hear more. Hope we see you at Pandora's tonight!!:clap:
Was wonderful to see you again Franny. Had a wonderful time! :love:

Kathy, I've enjoyed your report so far. I too love the villas. That was the first place I stayed in years ago, when Mrs. Flowers was still alive. My sons and I stayed there year after year in the early 80s. Ok, now here is my question, which building do you stay in? I started out in the cottages then we stayed in the top left unit upstairs for several years. I want to come back soon myself and need an update of the units.
thanks:wave:

Hey there. We are in the Gulf Front Unit. This is the one we have always stayed in. They have remodeled them and they look great. You should come and stay when you get a chance. Here is the link to virtual tours of the property.

Seagrove Villas Motel - Seagrove Beach, FL

Check it out. :wave:

Wow, the Villas are the first place I stayed, too. Bud & Alley's was my first meal......might have been the only restaurant in town now that I think about it.

:wave:

Darlene,
So sorry we won't be there at the same time as you this spring/summer. We'd love to see you. I still laugh about the night on The Hill with the Merms. So happy you're having a great time.
BR

Hi there. Yes, I hate that you won't be here. I know you have a lot going on. That was one crazy night on The Hill...I still laugh about it as well.

Ok, off to take a walk on the beautiful beach. I see lots of sunshine out there this morning and I am going to take advantage of it! :wave:

:clap: Love the trip reporting!!! Glad you guys are having so much FUNN!!

We had a blast, but sadly the Xterra is loaded and we must leave once again with a heavy heart.

We had a wonderful day on the beach all day yesterday. The weather was just beautiful. The water was still to bad to go in, but the beach was perfect. Met a scooterbug finally! Thank you so much for the gift of beer, it was very, very good. So nice to meet you!

Had a perfect dinner at the Red Bar listening to some Dread! Amazing as always. Had a wonderful visit with Mango and her sweet hubby. Thank you so much for coming out to see us. I know you guys were exhausted. Went by to say goodbye to the Kitty, DD and Sunkist and guess who shows up? Audie!!! So glad to finally met her and her hubby as well. Wish we could have visited longer but we were pooped. Hopefully next time. Have a great rest of your vacation!

:love: Miss you already. :wave:

And I miss you as well. :love:

There are some pictures of me in the hammock...but they shall not be shown in public...I have a lot more work to do at the gym. ;-)

I am so very thankful that I got to see so many special SoWallers! You are very special to me.

So, until June......:wave:
