beginning to fill up.\u00a0 We had our first encounter with kids today, who were bouncing around in the water, knocking beach balls around.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t a problem, but I laughed at myself for being a little irritated about the noise and activity, after days of tranquility.\u00a0 I could hardly get in a good nap.<\/p>\n<p>The sun was bright much of the day, so my hat has been out.\u00a0 I\u2019m working to avoid sunburn.\u00a0 There\u2019s no problem around the pool, but the ocean is warmer and fun, and there\u2019s absolutely no shade today.\u00a0 I picked up a bit of reddish tint, but it doesn\u2019t seem too bad.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, everyone scheduled another trip to the spa for massages.\u00a0 Judy and I went up to our room and dipped in the pool.\u00a0 We have a \u201cpool access\u201d room but hadn\u2019t used it because everyone else was down at the ocean, and the nearby pool.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s a beautiful setting, and if the others hadn\u2019t been around, we\u2019d have used it more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gordonandjudy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-6.08.35-PM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone
