Ruby Hits the Pool

We began our vacation time at the World Mark Resort at Angels Camp in California's Gold Country.  The resort was fantastic.  We had a fantastic time.  The Resort had a wonderful pool (a large pool - a kiddie pool - an amazingly large spa) and the kids loved swimming there, but Ruby hated the crowds.  The pool was usually fairly crowded, but all of the guests were very well-natured and it was no problem for everyone to swim and play together.  Along with the pool the resort rec. room became the most popular attraction of our stay in gold country.  (Rhonda and Bruce loved the caverns, the exploration of Railtown, and a all-too-brief stop in historic Columbia - all very near by.)

Each morning, I got up earlier than the rest of the family to take advantage of the resort gym.  (I want to continue my my progress toward better health management.)  On the last morning of our stay at the resort, I looked out the window of the gym to find Ruby alone at the pool, enjoying some alone time.  She seemed quite satisfied to relax with a refreshing drink in a lounge chair.

Thanks to our good friends who generously shared their time-share points with us to allow us these personal days of refreshment and relaxation on our journey to Seattle for the family reunion.  We really appreciate you.
