Busy Sunday

This is where Green Cove Springs gets its name, from a natural spring. Dan's new doctor told him about this park and it was really cool! Green Cove Springs is right over the bridge from our new house. It is a really small town, but we have found lots to do there already.

Looking into the springs, this water flows at 3,000 gallons a day! The water temp is only 72 though, too cold for us Floridaites :)

YMCA pool at the park, only $1 for kids and $2 for adults! What a deal :)

Really cool park in Green Cove Springs, there were lots of kids playing, fishing and families picnicing.

Staying one step ahead of daddy :)

Looking out over the St. John's River from the park

We decided to take a quick run out to the house this am as our final walk through is tomorrow am andthe builder said all would be done before the walk. Needless to say we were not happy that everything is NOT done. Most of the big stuff was done, the screen enclosure is 1/2 done, but lots of little things still need to get done. When we got back to the house we had an email from the realtor that he had confirmed our walk with the builder. He was really pissed when I sent him the list of all that still had to be done. He immediately sent off an email to the realtor that we would not be there for the walk in the am and we would not walk till ALL was done and the closing would not happen till we had a clean walk thru.
Of course I paniced thinking how we had everything lined up for the week. Having worked in construction for many years I also knew there was no reason the list could not be done on Monday, but it just shows the builder either had not been to the house to oversee the list or he was not real worried about finishing the list before closing.
So after a tense couple of hours I received a phone call from our realtor saying that the builder had just called him and that everything on the list was done! I guess we will see in the am.
So he either had a very busy Sunday afternoon or will have a very early Monday morning :)
Quick side note: Happy Birthday to my best and oldest buddy MaryEllen! Miss ya kiddo!
