Vacation - Day 6 (7.18.08)

There were green and purple flags flying the beach today. The green flag means calm surf, but the purple flag is a warning of hazardous marine life. Apparently the jellies were bad, but we didn't see too many. By the time we left, they had taken the purple flag down.

Paw Paw at the beach.
Isaiah was a little nervous about the sand at first, but he really started to enjoy himself.

Shelby and Holly taking a break from building their sand castles to pose for a picture.

This beach might be really hot, but it sure is fun! The water temperature was around 84 degrees!

The white on the horizon in the middle of the picture is sand blowing around near Fort Pickens. The road to Fort Pickens is still closed due to hurricane damage, but you can walk or ride a bicycle down there.

I'm trying to work up my nerve...


Try to find the dark shadow in the center of this picture. It was a HUGE stingray - probably the size of a picnic table!



Shelby's hermit crab

My view from the lunch table was spectacular! I love eating at the beach!

Isaiah is definitely a fan of flounder chowder!

Now this is a real piece of key lime pie!


We stopped by Publix on the way home for some Boar's Head lunch meat. It's the best!

No nibbling fish in this water!


Isaiah loves his Aunt Jenny!

Kari came to visit!

Love the pictures. It always sucks when you are having such a good time. Then it is time for you to leave. I just hope someday I can swim in the ocean or at least walk in it. Have fun on the remainder of your vacation and have a safe trip with the loop back. We miss you guys, but have fun. It is flipping humid up here. Like you are out in a furnace. So no need to hurry back. Hope when you come back you can help the humidity to leave. And bring some cooler weather with you. Please! Or least a steady breeze would make me happy. Then it won't be so hot. Talk to you later!
