This morning Phyllis, Eddie, and I went down to the boardwalk to check it out. Wow, it really cleaned up the down town area. Eddie checked out one of the arcades, they are so big compared to any we have back home. And it's nice that you use real money instead of tokens. He actually won a nice beaded bracelet and a 2 dollar bill on one of the games.
We then walked down to the Sky Wheel and took a ride. Although I think it's a tad pricey, I felt it was worth it after we rode on it. If you want a cooler view, you'll have to take a helicopter
. Eddie wanted to go on the sling shot, but he changed his mind when he realized it flung you higher than the Sky Wheel. He opted for the Shooting Star, which was more than enough of a thrill for a 9 year old.
We wasted enough time that we wanted lunch. Landshark Grill is a nice place and we were happy with the meal and service. Eddie had the spinach and artichoke dip, Phyllis had a salad with chicken, and I had a dozen grilled oysters w/side salad. Why does it always seem like we're eating
.
Back to the condo for pool time and some rest. Tonight we went to Margaritaville for dinner. Really no wait to get in, but food wasn't very good. Mine was good and so was Tim's, but no one ate their quesadillas, Eddie's steak was way,way over cooked, Phyllis' salad was just okay. We did enjoy all of the entertainment though, but I'm not so sure I'll go back. One other thing, so far the bloody mary's I've had have been good, but nothing special. Seems that everyone uses the same mix. Looks like I'll have to keep searching for the one that soars above the rest
Kids wanted Old Tyme pictures taken, so that was our next stop. Pictures turned out amazing. I found it odd that the guy was downloading and printing all of Eddie's pictures and putting them in a folder. Maybe they use them for advertising??!
Coldstone Creamery for dessert
, but they would not accept Cheri's Restaurant.com certificate. They said it could only be used in Wilmington. After walking around BATB for a while, we decided to come back here to crash. Stopped along the way to win a stuffed animal at the water shooting game.
Now I'm sitting here alone, because everyone else headed to the pool area to watch Gnomeo and Julliet
.
BTW, did I mention that Grandma washed Eddie's cell phone. I'll have to find a Radio Shack and buy a track phone to put his sim card in.
I think it's almost bedtime for this old dog, early tee time @ MB National Kings North tomorrow morning

I'm enjoying your report, as always!!! 
..
Are you in a remodeled unit on the Plantation side? We saw one in building 9 when we were there in June and the remodel looks great!
.
. When I checked in, the desk clerk was concerned because he thought I made double tee times. I explained that the last name Brown was extremely popular, but he insisted on trying to make sure I wasn't double charged. So finally, in walks a couple and their last name was Brown, so the desk clerk could finally relax 
. It was very good but way too much.
. Their's was actually the best so far, but mainly because of the olives and salted rim. My report must sound like I'm a drunk?!?!?! Normally I have one drink and then I have a Sprite. Normally that is 
and a tee shirt. Life doesn't get better than this 
. We're now at the condo cleaning up. Cheri and Tim are getting a date night tonight, so Nana and I have the kids. Looks like mini putt, a movie, and possibly Hard Rock Cafe. Depends on what the munchkins want
