Happy friday!
It's a lovely day here at the beach.

Weather- perfect! Not hot, almost chilly in the evenings. It rained for about 30 minutes midday, but no biggie.

Activities: DD12 and I went to an activity this afternoon (we overslept this morning for the first activity-but hey, we're on beach time). We did "clay bead jewelry making". Now I thought this would be just stringing beads. No. You MAKE the heads. Took a little more time than I thought (beads have to bake etc) and if you saw mine you'd advise me to keep my day job! Hahaha!

Then body boarding in the ocean (AWESOME waves!) and pool time. They have pool slide contests and DH came in third. He said he WILL be doing that again! His goal is to beat the resort record of 07:29.

DH is fishing, DD is reading, and I'm trying a fruity cocktail before gathering them up for supper.

Dining- had bfast in the room, lunch on our balcony and will have the pail of shrimp and crab sliders at dinner from bleachers tonight.

Shopping- the island grove store is being refurbished. There's a TINY corner of the store open and the hours are restricted to 10-6 until Saturday. That's proven to be of little problem or inconvenience. Just was a surprise last night when DD wanted to see their vinylmation. No worries though.

Laprana I see you're coming in a few days- I hope you have a great time! Keep an eye out for us- my DD has a fishing pole in his hand 99% of the time. DD has a book in her hands 99% of the time, and I have a :marg: in my hand 99% of the time! :blush:

Christine,

Love the report and the pics! I hope you report again during the trip. I'd love to read more and see more pics.

Your report and pics remind me of very fond memories I have from our one trip to Vero Beach. We had a wonderful time there, but it's now, years later, reading about it and looking at pics of it, that make me realize just how much we enjoyed our time there. Not sure we'll ever make it back there, but I could definitely see us adding a few nights there at the tail end of a summer Disney trip in the future.

Thank you Denise, I will try hard to keep the reports and pics coming & I hope you get back to vero soon!
Deb it is indeed empty. The beach is room key accessible only so the crowds are minimal.
It's easy to find a little patch of land to call your own :)

Okay. I am seriously jealous. We love Vero Beach! We try to get there a few times a year. We even occasionally drive there just for lunch or dinner. Say hi to Tia the Turtle for me, and enjoy your stay!

I will second what Christine said. When we visited it was in the middle of June and each day we went to the beach.....empty. It was wonderful!!!!! I hate a crowded beach so this was a huge plus for me.
