Dr. Beach don't know nothing!

We had a great fun Memorial Day weekend. AJ Mia and I went golfing on Saturday AM with my mom and had a great time. I mowed the lawn in the afternoon and with flag flying we were quite festive and settled in for some chicky on the grill. Sunday was a day to relax at the beach in the AM. Majorly disappointed in the rating that Dr Beach bestowed on the Fort Desoto Park Beach. Last week he rated it the number 1 beach in the country. Since it is about 30 mins from our house we thought we would check it out. We must be spoiled because this beach did not hold a candle to our local beaches. When thinking of all the beaches that we have visited in the past the closest to match this in quality was the Rang Pond Beach in New Gloucester ME. No offense meant but probably not one of the top 250 beaches in the country. We did manage to leave in time to watch some of the Indy 500 which was quite entertaining. Sunday eve we visited Patti, John and the rest of the family at their house for a great cookout of ribs and chicken. John has a gift for the southern grill and we all enjoyed the fine dining experience. Later a little dual TV with the Red Sox and NASCAR racing made for a relaxing eve. We wrapped up the day with an evening dip in the pool as the Sox put away the hated Yankees. Monday we visited St Aramand Circle. and did a little window shopping. All in all a fine weekend, leaving us rested and ready to dive into the next week. Not much else to report other than we talked to Blaine D. this weekend and plans are in the works for a rondezvous in the near future.
