mini-vacation to the beach

at the beginning of april we took a mini-vacation to the beach!   we rented a condo right on the water and took time off work and service for a much needed break.   the beach here is not a clear blue water, white sand island dream.  but the pool was amazing, the weather was awesome, the condo was gorgeous, we slept in, played cards, read, relaxed and ate some fun food.   and we were with good friends.  so all in all, a great success.  here are some pictures.
