Spring Break: Day One!!
After a million bizillion hours in the car (Mummy Mobile, really) we arrived!! I'm glad we broke up the trip into two partial days instead of the "full monty" down here. It allowed us to arrive, check into the hotel and have a bit of time to decompress.
Nikolas and I googled dinner and found an excellant seafood restaurant. We neglected to remember that it is Good Friday and that fish would be in high demand. Fortunately, our wait wasn't too long, 30 minutes. Nikolas and I had baskets of Stone Crab legs, Dad got the Steamer bucket full of all things seafood and Mia got the "U Peel" shrimp appetizer. Not a cheap dinner but Deeeeee-licious!!
We walked off the gluttony of our overstuffed bellies in the surf. Splashing and frolicking in the incoming waves as the sun crept further and further into the horizon. The kids did their best to follow Daddy's directions and stay dry... As dry as they could given the circumstances!
I realized upon setting out to document our day, that the new laptop doesn't have PhotoShop installed onto it... Grrr... I had to download Picasa and did some editing there. Not sure if I like the outcome enough for printing and scrapping but it works for getting pictures websized and here on the blog.
Tomorrow, the kids are in for a surprise!! I CAN NOT wait to see the look on Mia's face! This is her surprise really... Hopefully I'll be able to capture the rapture!! Nikolas will enjoy it but it's really something Mia has wanted to do. Wanna know where we're going? Hee hee, tune in tomorrow!
Great snapshots. Looks like fun!
