There were plenty of snacks including a variety of new items and some favorites including pretzel chips and spray cheeses. We enjoyed fresh cubed pineapple as an appetizer. The main entre' was fresh pan-fried Swai fillets, a mild flavor, flaky whitefish served along with coleslaw, roasted small potatoes, garlic'd rolls, and for dessert, we enjoyed a variety of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Coffee and coffee frappes were available.
The weather was perfect to enjoy the deck as well as newly groomed lawn. Chaise lounges and chairs were filled; the pool was sparkling and a great temperature to cool off and play water volleyball if the mood struck. The hot tub was visited from time to time by everyone. As the hours flew by, and it was time to say good night, the guest house was available if anyone wanted to spend the night.
