Easter Weekend on the Beach

When I went to the office on Friday to get a parking permit for our spring break visitors, I learned the resort is full for the next week and there are no permits available. Moreover, the city is so packed that there is no parking anywhere, and the vehicles of offenders will be towed, or so we were told. Oh oh. I checked parking online and couldn't find a spot using apps for several parking services. Finally, Bob called John, who cancelled the rental car.

We picked up Trudy, John, Adam and Mitchell on Friday evening. Fortunately, their flight was on time and we were home shortly after 11 p.m. We were happy to know for sure that the third seat of the Traverse does indeed hold two passengers with room for one more, so Bob's claim that he has a 7-person vehicle seems to be true.

The weekend passed very quickly. The boys love the pool and the not-so-warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico as well. Last night, the younger Hennesseys went out for Easter festivities on the beach, and this morning we all went to a very early Mass. Today Adam and Mitchell bought boogie boards, which were fun on this very windy day when the surf was high.

After  researching home remedies for the sunburn on his face, Mitch finally settled on plain yogurt, spread liberally under his eyes, as well as a "miracle skin regenerator" that was sitting unused in my skin care bag.

The hazy sky may be an early indicator of the "weather" we've been promised since yesterday. Otherwise, it's a quiet evening on Gulf Boulevard.
