First day on the coast

View out our dinning room window

Sherri is having a real hard time getting use to not rushing to get up and get started. She said she feels like she should be getting ready to go. I guess it will take some time to relax and realize that we do have time to get all our things done and if we don't we have tomorrow. You know what I always say about getting nothing done. I always save some so I will have nothing to do tomorrow.
Kris is so excited about all that sand out there to play in. He was so upset because we told him that he could not immediately head to he beach as soon as the jacks were down. We did let him go down to the beach for a while after we hooked up. He found some good spots to build some roads and some dunes to climb on. I found a good spot for my lawn chair where I will finish reading my book.
Sherri has her day planned out. She said she is going to give the MH the once over and get it cleaned. She said she has not had the time to do a good cleaning since we got it. Remember dear you don't have to do it all in one day.
We stayed on the beach for some time and then we decided to go for a ride. While we were running around town we went by the docks to see if the cruise ships were in. Sure nuff there we turned the corner and there it was. It is a lot bigger than I ever imagined. It is bigger than some hotels! I still would not get on one. I'll stick to seeing the sites out my MH window.
We drove around for a little while longer. Went by Walmart to with the intention of picking up some things but when we pulled into the parking lot I could see that it was not the day to do this. This is Spring Break in Galveston and everyone was at Walmart today. We decided to wait until the week days to do any getting out.
Back home from there. We settled in for the evening with Kris playing games Sherri playing games and me trying to set up my desk top computer. My Belkin is old and not working real well. I sometimes pick up the Wifi and sometimes I don't. What is going on is beyond me. I think I might need a newer model? I know things get smaller and better and I need to look around to see if they have a new one out there that picks up Wifi connections faster.
I would say that our first day of retirement went rather well and I think we are going to like it. We look forward to tomorrow...

We found that first couple of months were all new and busy, then it settles down. Now it is just a normal easy day with some new adventures thrown in. I'm still refining this retirement thing. :)
