Friday - Weather: High 81, low 62. Mostly cloudy, scattered showers. Wind SW 7.
Everyone slept late, since we didn't get to bed until after midnight.  Late morning, we went for a walk around the resort.  For lunch, we went to Celebration and ate at the Irish Pub.  (I got to have a Guiness!!)  We took a long walk along the 3 lakes, came back to downtown, and stopped at the ice cream shop. (That could get to be a bad habit!) We came back to the resort, rested, had a lite supper, and then went to the Florida mall.  Ladies did some shopping, Bob went to Starbucks, got coffee, and read his book.


Saturday - Weather: High 83, low 67. Mostly cloudy. Wind S 6. 20% chance of rain.
Late morning, we went to Sea World, ate lunch there, saw the Shamu show - it's always very entertaining.  Walked around, looked at other exhibits, looked at the nice landscaping, and late afternoon had some ice cream.  Home for supper after a stop at Walmart.  Diane took the girls swimming after dark, but it's still warm out, and the pool is heated.  They said there were not very many people swimming.  Grandma and grandpa were tired out, so we stayed in the unit and watched TV.  (At least grandma watched - grandpa watched with his eyes closed!!)


Sunday - Weather: High 82 , low 49. Isolated showers. Wind SW 22. 40% chance of rain.
Late morning, we went to Disney's BoardWalk and had lunch outside at Big River Grille.  Disney's BoardWalk is designed after the boardwalks that were famous during the turn of the 20th century along such coastal cities as Coney Island and Atlantic City, and it has shops, restaurants and nightclubs.  There is a small lake with a nice walk around it, with branches to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.  We walked around part of it and rode the boat that traverses the lake with several stops at the resorts and theme parks.  Very windy, threatened rain, but it didn't happen (thank goodness). Before leaving BoardWalk, we had to stop and have ice cream. (That's 3 days in a row - is that enough to say it's a habit?)  Lite supper here, and then the girls went to the pool.  They leave very early tomorrow morning, and we are sad to see them go.  It's so nice to have them visit and wish they could stay.

This whole area has beautiful flowers everywhere.


The Beach Resort at Boardwalk has a man-made beach on the lake with very fine white sand.


Watching the girls on the beach.  (You can see how windy it is.)
In the background, you can see a little of the Beach Resort.  It has a great swimming pool area, with play areas with sand for little kids and a big slide for the big kids.

This is the area near the entrance that has shops and restaurants.  At the bottom right is the restaurant where we had lunch.  You can see the boat that transfers you around the area at the dock.
