LiEE Is Good!

We bought dad some license plate signs on the beach for his garage.  When dad opened them he looked so confused and couldn't figure out what it said. We hadn't noticed on the beach but the sign had two e's in life instead of an f. We had a good laugh about that. 
Dad was starting to feel better on our last full day there. He still stayed in the condo and took it easy, but you could tell he was doing better and had more energy. I went shopping with Matt to get some stuff for the condo and then we all hung out on the beach again after lunch. Mel went up to shower and Matt, Tiff and I walked down to the resort next to us to get pina coladas and tacos. Unfortunately they were closed, but there was a restaurant open and they said they could make us pina coladas. Tiff and I didn't bring shoes because you walk across the sand to get there and we were planning on just going up to the window on the beach. It was a little awkward standing in the restaurant with our bare feet. 
They had tables outside so we drank our pina coladas out there. 
We visited while we drank those. 
When we were finished the sun was starting to set so I walked on the beach again to enjoy the sunset.
I always get sad when it's the last sunset before we get home. 
I watched it from the water again.
The ocean was very calm during our trip.  I missed hearing the sound of waves. 





A few last picture of sunset.
That night dad was feeling up to opening his birthday presents. 
Matt and Lori got him some funny things. 
The Back and Body Hurts candle was funny.
Here he is trying to figure out what the license plate signs say.
He thought the shart kit was pretty funny.
He wasn't so sure about some of the things in it.
We laughed a lot while he read the instructions in the kit.  It was fun to laugh so hard.  Dad told us stories about his childhood and when he and mom were first married. I always love when he tells stories and we have fun reminiscing or I hear things I have never heard before. We stayed up visiting until we were all ready for bed. 
On Thursday our flight wasn't until late so we took our time leaving Rocky Point. We got back to Matt and Lori's at dinner time so we got Salad and Go and had some time to visit before we had to go to the airport.  I'm glad we had this time together. I wish Gary could have been there and I wish dad hadn't gotten sick, but we still got some good, quality time together.
