The Ritz

Wow! We had such a great time in Amelia. There's nothing like doing nothing! No cooking, no cleaning, no laundry. The weather was wonderful. It seemed to get cloudy just when we were ready for a nap. We all enjoyed the beach. The boys tried skimboarding and Emerson loved playing in the sand. We tried to find some sharks teeth, but that didn't go over well. Our room was directly on the ocean, thanks to this man named Paul. He thought that would be better for us - at no extra charge! That was sooo great! We could step off our patio and go right to the beach. They had these beads set up the day we got there for you to make necklaces or bracelets. We went the next day to make some (Baylor could talk about nothing else) but they told us they only brought them out on the weekends. They could tell Baylor was upset so in Ritz Carlton fashion they sent us to a room and set them up just for us! It was fun and we all came away with a great memento! The pool at the Ritz is always relaxing. There's nothing like the beach breeze, palm trees blowing and someone bringing you cold Bud Lights on demand! Emerson loved playing in the sprinkler pool and the boys swam like fish! Emerson was so into every experience. Eyes wide open and couldn't miss a moment. Occasionally, we got her to take a nap. Our next adventure is to Compass Lake with Shannon and Justin. We are so looking forward to that!
