has pretty much already been written in these here threads, but I would like to add a few highlights to what has been posted.

To the Merpeople, thank you so much for allowing the TripleB family and myself and kiddo's to crash at your pad while waiting to check into the the condo. I sure did need that cold beer! You have a precious condo!!!!

To PV....I completely and totally adore you. :wub: You are the sweetest, smartest, cutest 21 year old I have ever met. You are very, very wise my dear. As I told you...I wanted so much to adopt you and bring you home with me. The hug was the best. I so enjoyed our time together and our little "chats" can't wait to do it again!

BWAAAA WAAAAA HAAAAAAA HAAAAAA. Biffster, biffster, biffster....SoWal will never be the same my friend. I think you had enough funn for everyone!!!!! I am sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to you, but I know you were in good hands last night. Thank you for keeping everyone updated on all the going on's.

Who knew Mermy could swim......in her undies, in our pool, with biffy and I. :idontno: And no.....I did not swim in my undies...BR, Big Daddy, and Merman can vouch for that. It was too much funn, and one of those "you had to be there moments". Dang I wish the camera had not malfunctioned. I will tell you that Mermy was very happy about her "sparkly undies". :funn:

BB and FFF, thank you for your special visit to the condo. You are both the sweetest!!! :wub: :wave: FFF, it was very good to meet you.

OMG, the Red Bar SoWal reunion was so much funn. I was very happy to see everyone that I had seen before, and meet some of you that I had not met. Thank you BB for getting the back room.:clap: Jdarg, Tootsie, Allifunn, Cork, DKA, Merpeople, Franny, IBD, Biffster, Gypsea, Captain Crazy, Beachmom, Beachbummett, goofer44, Skunky, rapunzel, Smiling JOe.....I hope I didn't forget anyone....I was so glad to see all of you. It was a very special day for me. :wub:

JohnR.....good to meet you as well. Sorry I interrupted your lunch, but I figured I better introduce myself while I had the chance.

Apparantely there was another SoWaller at the Red Bar that day that I didn't get to meet, but I was told I was sitting close to him at some point.....Abe Drinkin. Maybe next time.

Sunset Grayton was another special time for me. What a wonderful group of people that was. :wub: Uncle Timmy, and Dune-Ahh, so nice to meet you both at sunset. Daddy-O, great, great to see you again as well!!!!!!

Allifunn, Cork, Biffster, Dune-Ahh thank you for coming to the grassy knoll and watching the stars and chatting........:wub:

Allifunn and KAIBOO....I am so glad you got to come back and do some "beach time" with me. Sorry, I didn't get to say goodbye.....we were all out on the sandbar having to much funn when you left. Kaiboo, is a cutie!!!

jdarg, princess Kate, and Gypsea...yesterday was very special. I love, love you all. I enjoyed every minute of our beach and pool time. :wub:

I think that the dargs and I are starting a tradition.....they were with me the last night at the Villa's last year. AND, they were with me the last night at the condo last night. :wub: I am so glad you came by!!! I kept expecting jdarg to say "hey, lets go skinny dipping in the pool". I mean, they had been to BeachRunners and Big Daddy's before they came over to the condo's. :biggrin: Just kidding, I don't think the "killer they will make you want to strip and go skinny dipping margaritas were served" that night. :funn: (sorry mermy, I couldn't resist").

SJ, glad I got to say goodbye. :wub:

The week was filled with love, friends, good food, good drinks, wonderful accomodations (we have all already booked for next year). :clap: It is not the Villa's, but it will be our home for years to come. They don't have a hammock, but a really good float on the grassy knoll will do in a pinch. ;-)

Food: I had a wonderful Mahi Mahi sandwich at the Red Bar, Dinner at Bayou Bill's (Yummy), Our traditional end of trip lunch at the Seagrove Market (double yummy). The food at Sunset at Grayton was wonderful!!!! All of TripleB's wonderful food!!!!!

jfunn....I kept expecting to see you. I missed you. Good to talk to you though!!! :wave:
Pics will be posted on Monday....:clap: :biggrin:

Now, I really need to hit the Bowflex and put the fork down!!!!!!!

Until next time my friends. :wave:
