While out with the girls this morning, I noticed a slight drip in the water line so while I fixed breakfast, Max got to fix our problem. I noticed during cleanup that our water pressure was nearly non-existent. So after several attempts at fixing our water, we thought to check the next lot over since it is empty.... same problem. I finally called the front desk and was told that the water was turned off about 20 minutes earlier and would be off the rest of the day. sigh. At least the problem wasn't us! Fortunately we still had fresh water in the tank from our trip out here so we could at least do the basics.
After starting our day in a bit of disarray, it DID get better. They held their first farmer's market of the season this morning at the resort. That really sounds weird to this midwesterner as our farmer's markets are actually winding down this time of year.
As you can see, it was a pretty small market but I did manage to find a lovely silver ring that my hubby didn't mind buying for me. I'm a lucky girl.
Then we decided that it was time to try out the golf course.
It says, Voyager Country Club.... but that is perhaps a bit grand for the actual course. To begin with, the pro shop doesn't actually open until November thru April. So the whole thing is on the honor system. Seriously. It is a very short, nine hole course where all of the holes are par 3s. Once we looked at the scorecard, Max took about half of his clubs out of his bag and I took about a fourth of my clubs out of the bag. Why? Well first of all, we didn't need the longer clubs. But mostly because this is such a small course that motorized carts aren't allowed. So we had to (gasp) actually walk the course! Max opted to carry his bag but I wussed out and rented a pull cart. And boy am I glad that I did! It was HOT today.
Anyway, the course is is pretty rough shape. In fact they told us that they will be closing the course on the 7th for overseeding and it will be closed until November. So at least we timed our trip correctly! And did I mention that it is a very small course? It is so small that you can stand on the first tee box and see the entire course. No kidding. But it was fun enough that we will go back again for another 9 holes tomorrow. Although we will go out earlier. Even though it only took us about 1 1/2 hours to play today, we didn't finish until noon. And it was HOT!
So of course, I had to do the obligatory photos of each of us on the course. We are posing on the 7th tee box, so we were both pretty wilted by then.
We rounded out the day with more of the resort's amenities. Max opted for the gym. They have a REALLY nice one here. I opted for the swimming pool. They actually have 3 swimming pools here, along with a huge whirlpool. Quite the view, eh??
We are a tired troop this evening, so it was okay with all of us to spend the evening in. It isn't too bad sitting outside this evening watching the moon rise. I could get used to this.
Cheers,
