It was on the way back that I realized, Ashley had only bought groceries for what I would assume is one person. That, and she loaded them into a wire out Jeep Wrangler that looks to be the perfect beach buggy. Maybe I was wrong in assuming she had a husband. Maybe not, he very well could be back at her house or golfing or working or anything if that nature.
The rest of my first day down was pretty simple. A cooler packed with a few cold beers and waters and a Gulf sunset on the beach. After sundown, I came back and read for a bit out on the balcony until it came time for my “work.” I went down to the pool and into the small pool house to flip the heat pump on. Everything seemed to turn on just fine as I walked around the pool and took in the outdoor scenery. The backyard of this place was mostly private. Tall palms seemed to block any neighboring views on the two sides with houses. With that in play and the night well into darkness, I decided to just strip down and dive right in.
