The skies cleared overnight, and the roads that were flooded with yesterday's monsoon have drained and are now passable. Really, the only residual water was found in the walk way to the beach, and on the beach itself, where the white sand was damp and packed, rather than dry and powdery. The rain and clouds stayed away today, giving us a great day at the beach. BIG added bonus for the girls: running into people they knew on the beach! Peter was in town for a medical conference, and he drug his youngest with him. The kids hadn't seen each other since our
Christmas dinner party back in December. The kids made plans to get together thru-out the week, and we're planning dinner together on Thursday.
We dined at
Dry Dock Grill with the intent of watching the sun set over the Gulf while we ate dinner. We didn't order the cloud cover, but it came anyway. Still, the food was fantastic, and the girls especially are beginning to see what I meant when I said, "While we're on vacation, order the local, fresh fish. You won't be disappointed." My poor hubby was suffering from a case of sun poisoning as a result of falling asleep on the beach, and wasn't able to enjoy his food. In what can only be described as pure gluttony, the girls and I divvied up his plate (with his permission, of course!) after consuming our own entrees. His shrimp and crab cake combo was quite delicious indeed!
