I walked to the Springmaid Pier and back. I took a LOT of pictures so I'm going to do a Google photo album as I did before. It's quite a few pictures. I think near 100, so, I hope you enjoy!

Ah, it's nice to be posting from the beach and not on my way home! The two extra days are definitely nice! I am probably going to walk to the Springmaid pier today. It's either today or tomorrow! LOL. I am running out of time. Yikes! I will visit it and walk on it and enjoy that.
I took a few pictures of the beach a few minutes ago. I should have some interesting shots later after walking to the pier! At least I think so. :P. Here are the ones I have for now:
It's a bit cloudy today but it's still beautiful. I went out and sat on the balcony for quite a while. It's pretty hot out there but not too bad. I felt a nice breeze every now and then. I am not sure what I am doing today. I might walk if my friend isn't ready to go out before later. I just had my coffee so I might be happy to just sit here for a bit!
I took a few pictures on the balcony and I'll share them. I would like to walk to the Pavilion area but we are staying a lot further away and I'm not sure I want to walk there and back. I'm so out of shape from not walking. Ahhhh! Let me Google the distance. It is 3.4 miles to the Gay Dolphin from here. That would make it at least a 7 miles round trip with me going in stores and such. Ah! I want to go but I don't know if I have the stamina. :p
So, here I am sitting on the balcony posting my evening post. I have eaten and it was delicious. My friend didn't get ready until it was almost too late to go to Victoria's. They close at 8 and I was upset because I didn't want to go in and hold them over. We got our food to go and were out before they closed so that was okay. We brought it back here to eat and it was delicious. Sadly, since we brought it back here to eat, we didn't do anything else while out. Oh well.
I am enjoying the quiet of the evening and the sound of the waves crashing in on the beach. I hope tomorrow's weather is as nice as it was today! I am not sure exactly what I plan for tomorrow. We'll see. I would like to go to the pavilion one more time before we leave but who knows. I might wait until Sunday for that since we will still be here. That oceanfront Starbucks will be open tomorrow, though... :)
Here is a picture from the balcony tonight. Enjoy and I'll see you tomorrow morning!
I walked down to the Springmaid pier and back just a bit ago. I came back here and took a quick shower and put on fresh clothes. I was sweaty and hot! That shower was nice. The walk was great. I had a nice time. I hope my friend will get himself in gear soon. We are planning to go to Victoria's again tonight. Yummy! I want some of those delicious pork chops.
I am so glad the weather cleared up today. It makes it much nicer for doing things. I am glad I waited until this afternoon to walk as it really is pretty toasty. I will have a nighttime beach walk much later, but for now, I'm going to relax and wait until my friend is ready to go eat. After I cool down a bit more and post this, I'll go sit on the balcony. It's shady out there now and it should be a bit cooler with the breeze from the ocean coming in.
This last picture was taken on the little porch/deck on the back of the hotel. I sat there for a bit and enjoyed the shade! :p It's a peaceful place when there aren't a lot of people around and I had that advantage today.
So, my Fitbit alarm went off at 10:30 as it always does. I turned it off and then went back to sleep! lol. A bit later, I looked at my Fitbit and it was 11:30. D'oh! I went ahead and got up then. I went on the balcony to take a few morning pictures. It's overcast tonight but quite nice. It's a good day for walking.
I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do. I might skip a regular walk and go for a couple of beach walks instead. I have to get myself awake first. We don't have any food in the room as of yet, just snacks, so If my friend isn't ready to go eat or do anything, I might walk to get a bit of food. There is a McDonald's nearby but I'm not sure if they are letting you go in for ordering. D'oh! I didn't even think about that. I'll have to see how it goes. I'll post again later today, of course. Here are the pictures I took to share.
It rained a bit today and it was a little chilly at times. My friend and I walked anyway! We had planned to walk today and it was a little up in the air because of the rain, but it had stopped and cleared off for the most part. We went to the trail and walked. It was a bit cool and I should have carried my hoodie, but I didn't. It was okay though. We got in a nice walk.
While I was waiting for my friend to pick me up, I took a picture of the sky over my house. I love the way the green trees look against the sky. So pretty!
I was planning on staying in today and getting stuff done. Well, I did get a lot done, but I also went for a walk along the Riverwalk Trail! I found a new little creek area off the trail. I took pictures to share:
This is a pretty little area. I didn't do across the creek, but it looks as if the trail goes on past that. I might text that out someday. I have my bed linen in the dryer and I'm just waiting to put it back on the bed and then I'm going to crash on it and read until bedtime. I'm one tired puppy!
So, let's get this day done please! I had a hard time sleeping because it was too warm in my room. I turned on my fan and that helped. This afternoon, I was sitting in my room and I was hot. I looked up the weather on Google and it was in the 80's. Well no wonder I felt warm! I decided it was time to put my air conditioner in the window for the season. It will make sleeping so much easier tonight.
I was thinking about putting that in the window while I was working a puzzle. My friend texted and wanted to walk around 5 pm. I agreed, so I got my lunch and then got the air conditioner in the window and had a little time to relax before he came. We went to our new regular part of the trail and walked. The sky got a little overcast and that helped make the walk a little cooler. After we walked, he wanted a milkshake so we went to get that. I got a soda and then we rode around a bit. He asked if it were too early for me to eat. I said, Nope! LOL. It's never too early. :p
We were going to Sonic, but they have now taped up all the drive-up bays and you can only go through the drive-thru and it was backed up a lot. He decided to go to the barbeque place we recently tried. They have a drive-thru and we got food there. Delicious! He ate here and then headed home. After he left, I took my bed apart and then tightened everything back up and put the bed back together. DOH!!!!!! I just realized I forgot to measure the frame while I had it apart. ~_~;;; AHHHHHH. Hopefully this time my tightening will last for a while. We'll hope so anyway.
So, let's share a picture of the puzzle in progress and one picture from the trail. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!
I started a new puzzle today and it's the same brand as the last two so it has the tiny pieces. Ah! I got a bit done and then my friend and I went for a walk on the Riverwalk trail. We ate while we were out, too. After I got home, I did more of the puzzle. It's not bad at all. I should finish it tomorrow easily.
My replacement notebooks for my Foxy Fix came in today and they are absolutely perfect! They are the perfect size and they are nice quality too! The paper is thick and it's lined nicely, too. It had eight inserts so I'll have plenty for a while. I now get to decorate the covers. That will be fun to do. I already have some ideas. I am glad I found these notebooks. I put them back on my wishlist so I can re-order them in the future. Here are some pictures.
Here is the first notebook inside the Foxy. The little card in the pocket came with my order from Paper Issues. It's so cute!
Here is one of notebooks open.
Here us the outside of my beautiful Foxy with the adorable Starbucks charm from Berry Sweet Plans
And finally, here is the current puzzle in progess.
Stay safe out there and remember to wash your hands!
