The second day (Friday) we woke up to the most beautiful site looking off the 1st floor porch. You can see the sun rising against the ocean through the palm trees - all while sipping a delicious cup of coffee.
Then we moved to the 1st floor back porch for breakfast. The cook, Cassilla, would whip up whatever you wanted! We all ended up getting the same thing every morning - pancakes and scrambled eggs. The eggs were from chickens that lived wild behind the house. They live off corn and grass and the eggs were so fresh and natural. Oh, and the orange juice was fresh squeezed each morning from oranges that grow in the back yard. Wow!
We went for a walk after breakfast so that Hawkins could take a nap (and we could walk off all the food!). The road the house was on was the perfect place to walk. Beautiful houses and beautiful weather. The house is in the same neighborhood as Oscar de la Renta's and Julio Iglesis'!!!!!!!!! This is Robbie pushing Hawkins down the driveway to the road.
Beautiful flowers we saw along the way...
Then we hit the pool. This was Hawkins' first dip in the pool and water was cold! He did not like it! It took some persuading and lots of singing by Mommy to slowly inch him in the water and get him used to it - then he loved it!
Honey brought this intertube and he just lounged in the water.
Yes, this is just the pool house!
Before we knew it lunch was served, and it was back to the 1st floor front porch to eat. This was my favorite place to be b/c the breeze was wonderful and the view was breathtaking. We were casual in our bathing suits, but the staff set a beautiful table and served us like it was a fancy dinner!
This was probably the only time Hawkins was ever put down :)

Friday afternoon we went down to the beach! Hawkins did a face plant into the sand in about 2 minutes and had a rough introduction to the beach!
Big Daddy and Hawkins
After he calmed down from the sand all over his face he loved it!
That evening Hawkins joined us for cocktails before his nighttime bottle. Mommy gave it to him and he went right to sleep!

For dinner we had soup, lobster, roasted potatoes, and green beans.
Lobster!
Homemade vanilla ice cream!

Then we took the golf cart to check out the nearby resort.
