So on Sunday, we finally "hit the road" (Fischer's phrase when we travel) after lunch. We were eager to leave but couldn't leave too early because the hotel had a strict 4:00 check in time. We did end up getting there about 30 minutes early, so we parked and headed to the beach. We weren't in bathing suits but the kids couldn't wait to see the ocean! They loved it, got soaking wet, and I didn't have my camera. :(
We finally got our room key, unloaded the car, had a quick snack and changed into bathing suits.
It didn't matter that it was drizzling and a bit chilly! We got about an hour of beach time in before we needed to get changed for dinner.
Our first dinner was at a fun restaurant that had a pirate ship playground outside. While we waited for our food, we relied on technology to keep Addison and Fischer entertained...and so they wouldn't eat weight in hush puppies (they only ate half their weight). :)
Please note that Addison's hair is in a ponytail... this is a big deal in our house. In fact, during our vacation, she let me put her hair up THREE times!!
After dinner, the kids played for quite awhile. And, as an added bonus, on our way out to the playground they each received a pirate hat and sharks tooth necklace. They were beyond excited! In the picture below, Fischer is doing his best pirate pose while saying "argh!" So funny.
Then it was back to the room to rest up for a full day of fun on Monday. It took Addison and Fischer quite awhile to settle down and go to sleep. They had their own beds but they were in the same room. They kept jumping into bed with each other and playing. Eventually they tired themselves out and fell asleep. :)
