Day 3 - Ready to become a Floridian

Vacation is a hardship

Today we had a very lazy day.  I woke up and clocked a 5km loop around the property with great views of the two Raymond Floyd golf courses.  Definitely the greenest grass I've every seen. I got back in time to wake Julie and Owen up to lazily order some in-room breakfast.  Fortunately the in-room dining is fairly good and we've abused this option already at a rate of once or twice per day for full meals or snacks.

Around 4 Julie headed over to the Willow Spa having swapped her massage for a pedicure.  Apparently after all those years of ballet her feet are in constant need of care. Owen and I took the opportunity to cruise the property before a solid rain cloud rolled in and we had to duck back inside.

Stolen from Fairmont web site - my Blackberry didn't do it justice.

Later in the evening we walked over to the Waterways Shoppes about 30 mins from the hotel.  Without much research or asking the Concierge we landed in what seemed like was once a pretty happening place to ultimately an area with the majority of restaurants closed or shops out of business.  Fortunately Barrio Latino was open and absolutely packed -- always a good sign.  I scooped up some recommended Cuban fare -- basically beef, beans, rice and plantains and Julie opted for a salad.  Since we were sitting in a booth I laid Owen on the bench which seemed to work well until he woke up (which doesn't happen in the carrier).

We hiked back and started to watch Midnight in Paris until we all passed out.
