Pool Days!

The mornings have been cool and cloudy, but the afternoons have been bright and sunny! And the pool is finally all cleaned up from having been a swamp for months. A dip in the pool has become our go to activity for the afternoons.

They had big plans to expand the resort area by building homes, more golf courses, and more hotels. There was big push back from the community and after a struggle to find new buyers, the whole area shut down. There are about 150 condominiums that are privately owned and have continued to operate, while all of the resort areas like hotel rooms, golf courses and club houses, and res...
