One day left

We only have one more day of fun in the sun until we head back to the barely-above-freezing drizzly rain that is Michigan. Our intentions of course is to make the most of this one day! Our schedule includes some pool, followed by time at the pool, and wrapped up with a round of golf. Should be good fun all around.

Yesterday was a little more laid back than I had intended. We started off with some putt-putt (the funny thing about their putt-putt course is that it actually looks like a fake desert by the time they finish all the landscaping and stuff. It's just a little surreal to look at. Anyway, my horrendous putting continued there (although I did have a hole in one, so that was nice).

After our mini-golf game we went to watch Grant and his softball team at an away game at Sun City. Sun City is the original active retirement community and its age is beginning to show. It looks much more like a suburban city of the 1960s while Sun City West is definitely trying to go more for a resort-type feel with landscaping and building styles. The team ended up losing but it was a close game up until the 7th. Tom and I ran over to Walgreens while waiting for the game to start. I'd been getting a bit of a sun rash and it was getting worse and worse so we thought it was time for some medicine. I took a couple of the Benadryl and was fine for about an hour but then it REALLY began to hit me. If any medicine says that it could cause drowsiness then it will definitely cause drowsiness for me. And by drowsiness I mean that I was bordering on narcolepsy. My eyes wouldn't focus right on things up close giving everything a weird 3-D effect since my depth of vision was all messed up. I decided the best thing to do was lay down for a little (turned into 3 hour) nap. Tom and Grant went to play pool during this time so at least it wasn't a complete waste for all of us.

We finished the day with a spaghetti dinner and American Idol. After Idol we played some more Bid 500 - they were close games but we managed to win more than we lost.

No pictures to show from yesterday. I'm going to take some more today (probably of pool, the pool, and golf course) and try to remember to get some of the place. Our shuttle picks us up at 4:15 tomorrow (our flight is out of here at 6:30 with a plane change in Salt Lake City) so I may have a chance at the airport to update the blog if I don't get to it tonight. One more day in the sun and I'm off to enjoy it.
