Atleast we are beating the ol' lady!

My current speed in slow, no really slow. I try but I can no longer keep up with Phoenix and she knows this. I can tell by the little smirk on her face when ever I ask her to come to me, she laughs tilts her head and takes off. Even when I try to corner her she knows it. I know she is secretly thinking, "the tubby one with the big belly can't move like she used to, a quick left then a right and I can shake her". She's right.

While we were on our wonderful vacation on Captiva Island, we took a cruise to Useppa Island, which is just off the coast of Captiva. It is a little island with A LOT of history. Well, the island require a lot of walking, something my hips don't like very much right now. So my dear hubby and I had the opportunity to to get a golf cart escort. Thank heavens one of the places we wanted to see was the museum on the island, which was a mile and half walk from the boat. Anyway I felt bad when I saw this lady who was probably about eighty making the trek. But then I thought good for her, but it is to hot and too long of a walk for me.

On the way back after lunch at this really cool inn on the island the golf cart came to pick up back up and our driver asked if we would mind if he added another passenger. We of course did not mind, to our amazement it was our little old lady from earlier who just not able to make it back down. It was cool she was a former teacher turned writer who had raised 7 kids of her own, she was a widow who was spending her days traveling.

As we got of the cart, we were heading back to the ship where everyone was waiting for us. Mike turned and said "Well at least we are beating the Old lady". Indeed we were! It felt great not to be the last person to get on the boat!
