What I Did On My Vacation - Day One

We have arrived!!  My heart's beating faster because we're driving up the driveway to our condo.  This is always like opening a gift.  Am I going to like it, or am I going to have to put on a happy face and pretend it's just what I wanted.

This is like some kind of exam for me.  I researched, I studied, I did my homework, and now I find out what grade I received.

Okay, it has a nice parking area with lots of lights. Check.  It has an elevator for all my piles of suitcases.  Check.  It has a keyless entry....and it works! Check.  Drum roll, please....

As I open the door and look inside.... IT'S CLEAN!  Check!  It has a pretty pool! Check!  And the views?? GORGEOUS!  Double check!! 

I made an A!!  Woohoo!!

We decided to go to a little restaurant we had visited years ago.  The Crab Trap is located in a building that is over a hundred years old, all the old brick still showing inside and the same creaky wooden floors that were walked on a millennium ago.

With my navigational skills, we only got lost a couple of times.  We're on a small island, so there's only so many times you can get lost. 

The town is quaint, with lots of little shops and cafes.  It's a historical district, so the architecture is beautiful.  As we stroll along, we can hear music wafting out of the buildings, we see sea gulls floating overhead, and families dragging children and pushing strollers.

Well, of course I get crab legs at The Crab Trap.  What else would you get at a crab restaurant.  Let the cracking begin! 

The way I eat crab legs is to crack them all at once, pile up all that sweet, delicious meat on my plate, then I get to eat it, but not until all the cracking is done. 

Hubby just sits with an astonished look, as shells are cracking, water is dripping, and meat is flying all over our table.  He's much more conserved than I am.   He eats food you don't have to use your fingers with, but what fun I'm having!  It's another exam.  How much meat can I get out in one piece, and how fast can I do it? 

With butter all over my chin, my belly full, and a smile on my face, I think I aced this test.  Yea, Hubby gets a little embarrassed, but he loves me.  I can tell by that smile on his face.


Genesis 9:3  Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb I have given you all things.
