We spent the day, Monday, at Sea World, and headed to Cocoa Beach around 7 that night. We took a quick trip to WalMart to get some groceries, and then settled in at the hotel. Stayed up late that night catching up and sharing a few things only cousins can share!! We played in the ocean and soaked up some rays the next day, all the while, my left eye was burning and itching like someone had punched me in my face. When we got back to the hotel, I could not get my contacts out fast enough. We rested up, or, I rested up, for about two hours!!! Joann and Jan said they were debating whether to come in and check to see if I had passed on!! When I finally woke up, my eye was swollen shut. Joann, who is a retired nurse, insisted that we go to an Urgent Care Center so they could check out my eye. I finally agreed. Turned out to be conjunctivitis. Who would've thought I would go to Florida for a girls' getaway, and contract the pink eye?? I could see me getting it during the school year with as many students who come to school with it, but around all adults? Just my luck! Anyway, it didn't put a damper on our fun. We had some great food, great company, and great shopping!!
On Wednesday, we left the beach and headed home. A few detours along the way were...a quilt shop, Hancock's fabrics, (the biggest one I've ever been in!!), and Cocoa Beach historic village, where we had the best lunch and some good shopping.
When we got back to Joann's, we went over to visit Aunt Jo again. She seems to be doing pretty good considering all she is going through. I really think she is ready to just go on to Glory. She, Jan, and Joann have all of her funeral arrangements made, down to the songs she wants sung at her going home party!!
Here is a picture of me and my Aunt Jo.
I had lots of fun, but am so glad to be home. We've decided we are going to make this an annual thing. Can't wait til next year!!
