Last fun days at the beach before returning to Georgia & school!

Nana floats!

One giant leap for Daddy! (and Logan).

Go Karts one last time!

Go Karts for all!


J.Micheal's Seafood Restaurant

Wow....time just flies by. I don't know where the weeks go. We're pretty much at home here in St. Andrews State Park in PCB, FL. We have a great view of Grand Lagoon, through a palm tree, out of our "dining" room window and from our chairs outside.

View from window

Three of the grand kids have been here this week and will stay until Sunday. We did the Pirate Cruise on Saturday and rented Pontoon on Monday. Yesterday was cold, after the rain on Monday night, so we went to a movie and toured the local Sam's Club where their Dad is working for the summer. Friday we are going to an aquatic center to see about signing them up for swim lessons when they return in June. We may try our hand at kayaking, if it warms up enough one day. And we'll definitely return to Pier Park for lunch/ice cream/rides. All in all, just living life and taking care of business....only we're at the Beach! ;-)

I high recommend the Pirate Cruise for anyone with kids.....they loved every minute. The pirates were great and kept them entertained for the entire 2 hours!

Even pirates can do the Chicken Dance!

Pontoon boat on Monday...taken from phone (I forgot the camera!)

What 'cha want for dinner tonight??

Been workin' the deals' in August. Here's a couple of pics from a trip to Kmart and Publix. Kmart was doubling up to $2.00, so 2.00 coupon was doubled to $4.00. They're doing it again next week. Kmart total was $105.42 and I paid $14.80. Publix trip was today to get some buy one/get one frees before the weekly sale ended. Publix's ads run Wednesday thru Tuesday. This trip was $93.74 and after B1G1's, in-store specials, $3.03 left on gift card...I paid $15.08. Also went to Wally World Sunday. Total was $60.33 and I paid $15.20. Plus short trip to Winn Dixie to pick up a couple of B1G1 was $12.14 and paid $2.10

Totals for 4 stores was $271.63 and I paid $47.18. That's 82.6% savings. Not too bad. I didn't have to buy any meat in these trips, just the 2 boxes of fish sticks which will make 4 or 5 meals. I already had pork chops (B1G1 at WD last week) and ground beef. Publix has chicken and ground beef on sale this week so I'll do that before next Tuesday.

I'm always on the lookout for fast food/restaurant coupons. We eat out once or twice a week. Monday night we had Burger King - 2 whoppers, 2 fries, and 2 sr. diet cokes = $3.20 after free whoppers (on back of every receipt!). We ate a MacDonald's twice this month 'cause we had coupons for their new big burger; just buy burgers and get medium fry and drink free. And those burgers were surprisingly good but I'd never pay full price ($3.99) without coupon of some kind! Then there is Subway's footlongs for $5. Very good deal to bring home and add chips and diet coke. And I still have a few Sonic coupons for B1B1 burgers, footlong dogs, etc. There is also a new place in town called Chow Time. It's similar to Golden Corral but only $5.49 before 4:00. They have good peel'n eat shrimp.
