Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions. I let Patrick in on our little plot to come up with some fun activities for us while he is here and he wanted me to post this for you all to read :) He's a funny one...
So, I heard of a legend of a young lady who strolled the beach, looking out to the GULF, waiting and hoping that the guy who would be special in her heart would appear on the horizon. Her disappointment was turned to joy when she realized he would not appear by SEA, but instead, would appear by LAND.
I look forward to meeting you all AFTER I meet the lady at the shore.
Patrick
