Return to The Villages

11.18.2009: We spent most of the day relaxing around the house, and also headed to the recreation center. Looking for something other than the pool (although don't get us wrong, we do enjoy the pool very much!), we found pickleball. Pickleball is a weird combination of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong - and is played with a wiffle ball. Of course, the first time we played we didn't know the rules, and kind of made them up as we went along (below, Katrina is pictured serving overhand, which is illegal). Our competitive sides came out to play and we had a lot of fun!

Our evening activity was, of course, eating dinner. The first time we visited, Pop-pop mentioned a BBQ restaurant that he really liked and that they hadn't been to in a while. He suggested it as the place to go for dinner, and we were excited to compare it to our other BBQ experiences. Off we went to OakWood, where we enjoyed a lovely dinner of baby back ribs (a full rack for David), grilled chicken, and side dishes of corn salad, sweet potato, collard greens and macaroni and cheese. Delish! Our server claimed that the restaurant served the most fresh and best hamburgers in the area. We even picked up a bottle of their homemade BBQ sauce on our way out.
