Girls weekend
This was the first time us ladies rented a house. We loved it. We were on the waterfront but couldn’t get into the water. Steps are needed. And maybe a fire pit up on top of the hill. Our group of seniors had canes, hip problems. So going up and down the hill slowed our activities. But all in all we had a great weekend. Thank you
