A Perfect Day On The Beach

While waiting to pick up Kate and Tammy, Pleep insisted a trip to the Daytona Ale House was in order. He spent most of his time there admiring the snazzy Harley Davidson and the largest assortment of vodka's he had ever seen. Everyone arrived on time and quickly settled in to vacation mode.

Because the flight didn't arrive until 11:20 pm and no one made it to bed until after 1, Pleep decided to be nice and let Kate sleep in past 8:00 am. He was very happy when she finally got up because he knew she was going to hang with him on the living room couch. He started drumming up ideas for shenanigans for the day.

The weather continued to cooperate - full sun, no clouds and a great breeze off the ocean. The group made a couple of nice beach walks and Kate had a great time spotting shells, crab parts and other marine life. She always made certain to make her mother turn over the crabs to make sure they were indeed dead. When everything came up from the beach, Pleep showed Kate how to mix up a bleach solution to soak everything to insure nothing would survive and stink up the house.

As any Ritter house guest knows, Pleep is a stickler for rules and closely inspects bedrooms and bathrooms. He was very pleased to see that Kate took herself immediately to the shower and did not stop to sit on any of the furniture. Because it is her first day, Pleep granted waivers on assembling all the pillows back on the bed. She also did a very good job securing her beach towels and cleaning up the coolers. It is early days yet but the Carnicelli position could be in jeopardy. Pleep said if Kate can get Ed on a boogie board she may shoot up in the rankings.
