Thanks! I'm looking really forward to meeting everyone! When my friends were trying to convince me to come it was their dates aligning perfectly with the boardie bash etc. that helped twist my arm to just do it, lol!
I'll post the dates for the show when I get them :)

nice food pics. looks like a great restaurant.
great reporting so far!
WOW!!! Those burgers look huge :)
Your kids are SO cute! Your daughter in braids is pretty much the definition of adorable. WOW, really takes me back... :)
OMG, those burgers looks so good!!
Your daughter looks adorable in that sunset shot, with the big floppy hat and flowing sun dress - Your family is beautiful! :)
Great picture of your daughter from behind w/ her sundress, hat, purse.......a little lady!
I also LOVE your sunset pictures with the clouds. Beautiful!
Katho- Your children are so cute! Their smiles & actions are amazing in relation to loving their surroundings. Two thumbs up to great parents!
Ah, Thanks everyone! :) They are really sweet kids and had an amazing time! Great age to bring them, 10 & 11. Still open minded children wanting to discover everything, not to cool to be with there parents (lol) and they will remember it forever!
Day 7
Bittersweet day...we were leaving Sea Splash and spending our last night at Xtabi. We had a wonderful time at Sea Splash! I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked being on the beach, I'm a cliff dweller normally. We knew the beach would be a better place for the kids. I've mentioned it already, but once again, I was so impressed with the vibe at Sea Splash, the beautiful surroundings and the amazing staff!
We were sad to leave but I was also excited to show the kids Xtabi, my home away from home for many years.
Spent the morning wandering around Sea Splash taking pictures
