fabrisseSis only has a one week break between the winter and spring quarters. We took the dogs to the kennel for two days and drove to Jeckyll Island. We did a couple of getaways there with Mom. Sis and I have been once, and I went on my own while the move was happening.
We stayed in a hotel/motel with a walkway to the beach. It was much less expensive than any place else, but it was still a good room with a little patio where I could sit outside and read while Sis watched TV.
Since the Island is a state park, the amount of development has been limited. St. Simon's, the neighboring Island, is crowded beyond belief, but Jeckyll is quiet.
We went on a one hour trail ride which used muscles that I hadn't used in nearly 40 years. I miss riding, proper riding, but I haven't done it since I left Belgium in 1989.
We also did some miniature golf. Sis is still mad that I won. She's athletic -- or was when younger -- and very competitive. It's always been a given that she can beat me at anything with a ball (I used to be better than she was at free throws, but the net has been raised since my day so that's no longer true). She's not exactly mad, and she knows it's impossible to cheat, but it's driving her crazy that I won. This is especially true because she managed 2 holes in one.
We laughed a lot. Walked on the beach every day. Had good seafood and fish. And we went on the dolphin boat again and saw many, many dolphins. They're wonderful.
Sis and I are starting to swim two days a week. I hope by next week to be able to add some strength training at the little PAR course a block away. Sis is still recovering from her shoulder surgery several months ago. She's doing as much strength training as she can at PT.
