Another Weekend of Fun in the Sun


I must say that we are all getting nice and tan this summer. Despite our best efforts to keep ourselves completely slathered in sunscreen we do seem to be getting more and more color. This week Gabriella and I went to the Renaissance resort on Friday for our play date. We had a great time playing in the water and hanging out with our friends. Her swimming continues to improve by leaps and bounds. The weather was beautiful, just enough cloud cover to keep us cool.
Saturday we drove up to Manza to enjoy the beautiful beach and pool. Greg, Gabriella and I rented a few beach chairs and an umbrella to keep us cool and comfy at the beach. The water was wonderfully cool and refreshing. Greg and Gabriella did a little snorkeling and they were able to see a lot of beautiful fish and even an eel that tried to take a chunk out of Greg. As the tide came in and the water in the swimming area became deeper Gabriella and I had a good time swimming in between the floating platforms. We took a walk around the grounds looking at the guest only pool and the hotels huge lobby. The hotel is beautiful and would be a nice play to stay for a weekend. We spent a few minutes out of the water when Greg had the opportunity to bury Gabriella in the sand. She loved every minute of it. On the way home we had another lesson in Okinawan eating. The first restaurant we tried didn't open until 6, then the second one we got a little lost getting to, which is just how it works out here. We discussed that we look forward to going back to the states where every business has an address and the streets actually have names.
