Have you ever met someone for the first time and you just knew that you would have a good time hanging out with them? Well that’s what happened when we were on our winter vacation this past February in Jamaica and we met up with a group of people also from Iowa when we were all checking into the hotel.
And that’s how this story starts. We started talking to them and found out that they only lived about 2 hours from us and from then on we got to know this group of about 10 people pretty well before the week was over. And when our vacation finally came to a close, we all said that we were going to get together in July.
Well it’s July and with their annual pond party in full swing, we got there later in the afternoon to join the fun. The location couldn’t have been more awesome! The one couple has about 10 acres of land with about half of it a pond. There is so many cool buildings that they built around this pond that every time that you turned around there was another thing to look at. So like I said, when we got there the party was in full swing and we laughed because we were being introduced as the friends from Jamaica. I guess we didn’t look the part of who they were expecting. Too funny!
But at the end of a fun night of hanging out and getting our share of dancing in, it was time to find a bed for the night. A couple of years ago they also built a cabin with a loft at the pond and with a bunch of beds in it that they said we could use – well that’s where we landed for the night.
So the next time your’e out and about and find some people that you think you could get to be friends with, who knows? You just might be spending a weekend with them in July!
