A few minutes earlier and we would have made it through the bridge since we were only a little over 2 miles from the bridge. What to do? Well we decided to head to the Moody Garden's Resort and Convention Center. This is a fabulous resort with all sorts of amenities, including a small marina. Plus, we were running short on food on the boat which suddenly became a concern since we were not going to get home for lunch or dinner or ??? We docked at Moody and unloaded our trusty scooters for a several hour trip to Wahlgreens drug Store, Tuesday Morning, Randall's Grocery Store and back to Wahlgreens to pick up 2 prescriptions for me. The Admiral prepared a wonderful (fresh) salad with hot BBQ chicken for lunch. After the hectic morning, a nap seemed in order, but the nap was quickly interupted by a half hour thunderstorm. Another squall line moved through about an hour later. Then the sky cleared in fairly short order. Under a beautiful blue sky, we walked up to the hotel for a very nice dinner followed by:
After dinner, we walked out to the pool and as you can see, magic happened. Well, we had worn our swim suits under our "dress" clothes.
The pool was warm,and the whirlpool was even warmer... A nice end to a day that was quite a bit different than we had planned. Guess that's part of the equation - be flexible. After all, we are retired.
Okay, so we will try again to set off for home in the morning.
