I had my ice cream....and cone!!!

For those of you that think I am wasting my vacation by keeping up with my blog...I'm not! My husband because of his back needs at least 45 minutes to an hour every morning to stretch and do his work out. We go no where until that is done. I wake up so early here because of the time difference. It is after 10 at home and just after 7 here. I am sitting out on the lanai watching the sand fairy clean the sand and watching tents go up for a big canoe race today. We will be right at the finish line with front row seats from the lanai. It is a huge thing over here so it will be fun to cheer and see the activity. 15 floors up:)
Hubby got burned pretty bad yesterday, but it was partly his fault! Stubborn man. We had a tiff yesterday because he couldn't figure out how to get on his air mattress and didn't want my help. What a baby!!! And that is about the first thing I have ever said negative about him. Anyway, because he was being a baby, we went our separate ways in the water most of the day. I watched the amount of sun I got, laid under the umbrella when needed, and reapplied sunscreen. No burn for me! The bummer part is that he has NO desire to lay in the sun today and I don't know if I want to go down bad enough by myself. We will be watching the race later anyway, so I will get sun out here. The umbrella and one lounge chair is 50.00 a day!!! Hubs uses his air mattress. Can you imagine? We figured that we would spend more money on the property out of guilt because the last time we were here and got this end room, we had to pay an extra 50.00 a night. We are going to the big breakfast buffet again this morning so I will be eating another 20 pieces of bacon. Right when we left the last time, I found the omelet bar so I am excited to have one today. I did eat banana bread and pineapple, but not one of the many pastries that were on display. The amount of food that is available is quite exciting!!!

Leftover cone:) 

View in our new room from the bed:) 

We packed a lunch again yesterday and then had pizza for dinner. I ordered the Hawaiian with 1/2 no pineapple. They made it all with pineapple so without me asking or ever even thinking to ask, they made another whole canadian bacon pizza. 2 pizzas!!! We also had hot wings and my hubs got a dinner salad. I did my pile everything on 2 crusts again and we have a lot of leftovers. Next was the ice cream cone! OMG!!! I only ate a few bites of the cone, but I did manage to eat ALL of my scoop of ice cream. I saved the cone in a glass and plan to eat more later. Yummmmmmyyyyy!!! I didn't even get an upset stomach which has surprised me since I have reintroduced a lot of sugar? That could be a very bad thing. Oh, I forgot...we did share a turkey panini sandwich after lunch. I was starving. Too much sugar lately making me hungry now:(

Visitors at our first room and I was not using zoom. they just stayed there and let me take the picture!

Every Friday night the Hilton does a big fireworks display. That's why we always make sure and stay 2 Friday's. They set them off right in front of our room. The boom's could be heart attack inducing!!!

No full sunset yet, the clouds come in right before the sun touches down. The pink was amazing!!!

I can't find the picture I took of the view from the bed of our first room. It was the wall, TV, and  a Hawaiin picture. Quite a difference to wake up to!
So it is about time for a HUGE breakfast. I have so many food successes and a few not so good. I LOVE orange juice and I have had a couple of sips, I LOVE banana bread and I eat the top off, I love pancakes, I haven't eaten any yet. I did not get my caramel corn out again yet:) Baby steps...
I still feel like someone should pinch me, or if this is a dream, don't let me wake up! This is not my normal life folks:) There's a cruise ship coming in and paragliders out already this morning. The surfers come out at dawn. Wow...I can just say...wow:)
Blessings and happy scales...to you FT....good luck!!!
