August 10
What an amazing day! The wind was perfect -- the water is crystal clear and warm. The temperature was even better. There very little (almost none) seaweed.
Jett and I were on the beach at 7 a.m. and then headed to the grocery store, Publix, while the older boys slept. We came home with two boogie boards, so we hardly had time to unload groceries before we were begged “to death” to hit the waves. We were on the beach by 9:30 a.m. (at the very latest).
Page adored the boogie board. At one point, Declan told me I should have gotten a board for Wayne! Page and Wayne were catching waves together all day. Declan loved it when Wayne took him in the water and let him stand on the boogie board.
Jett was completely occupied with the sand – bucket, shovel, rake, etc. He was such a good boy and loved the waves. Of course, one of Jett’s favorite parts of the beach is the water hose where we wash off our feet before entering our condo.
Declan is our swimming pool boy, but by mid-morning he became very comfortable with the waves and salt. He was most interested in the “sea slugs” that invaded our waters throughout the day. He captured hundreds. They only come once a year to mate and then they depart. They are only supposed to be here a few days. They look like a huge flying snail without their shells. They don’t bite or hurt you but are a bit weird to swim with.
We saw no jelly fish – thank goodness!
Other highlights:
Everything at the grocery store is either $5 or $9.
I saw someone today I know from Wee Care in Fayetteville.
We ate homemade spaghetti for dinner – delicious!
I took a nap!!
Wayne was given a $35 Cuban (the real deal) cigar from a man we met. He and his family (a generation ahead of us) were set-up near us. They are from Baton Rouge and he is an attorney who fights the IRS.
Most people keep asking us how we got our condo – first floor that is perfect distance from the pool and the beach. It is wonderful!
Until tomorrow!
