Trip Report
Up at 3:00am on Friday morning. Out the door at 4:30am. After a stop at our local "Huddle House" that took freakin' forever, we made it to SoWal in exactly 5 hours. Went to jdargs house and saw her
, she was gracious enough to open her house to us to change clothes so we could hit the beach after lunch. We decided we would just go on to lunch then change for the beach. We got to Flip Flops and I was so, so happy to see and meet so many wonderful SoWallers. It was jdargs birthday lunch and we got to crash it. 
Kurt, the main man got on the phone an pulled some strings for us to be able to check in at the Villa's early. Thank you daddy-o for "everything". xoxo. Thank you Jason and Jeremy for letting us get in early. We really, really appreciate it.
It was a wonderful feeling walking back in here after being gone so long. It felt like home. The remodel is very cute. They did a wonderful job. The only complaint I have is that they painted over all of the beautiful hand painted murals that were in the bathrooms of all the rooms in the gulf front building. I understand why they did it, but it was just sad to see them gone.
It is nice to see the barriers gone off the back porches as well. The last time we were here we couldn't use the back porches because of the dune erosion. The hammocks are here, and I will be getting re-acquainted with them real soon!
Some very special time was spent on the beach with a kitty, a DD, a sunkist, a sunspotbaby with her beautiful precious little girls, and her friend michelle....we headed off to the Seagrove Market for some dinner. It sure doesn't look the same on that corner and yes I might have shed a tear or two, the food at the Market was good as always.
We got back to the Villa's to watch beautiful light show that mother nature had planned for us. ;-) What a most spectacular lightening show we have ever seen. It was awesome. We sat on the porch and watched it for along time.
It was an early night for us as we were pretty darn tired so we packed it in early with the hopes of rising early to start our day.
Today the skies are really gray and the seas are rough, rough, probably won't be getting in there today. But, that is ok. I am here and that is all that matters!

Going to Red Bar for breakfast....Yummy!
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.
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...
enjoy your vacation - you deserve the hail out of it!
Great trip report and can't wait to hear more. Hope we see you at Pandora's tonight!!
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
thanks
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.
