Ever heard of a party barge?

Yeah, we totally rented one for the day.

Okay, it was really a pontoon, but doesn't party barge sound more fun?

 

Today was great.

 

We saw dolphins.  Dolphins!  Pretty sure my famous dolphin call brought them swimmin' within arms reach of our boat.



 

 

 

We cruised over to Shell Island.  Beautiful beach and we were the only ones there.

I laughed at Eric and Cody carrying/dragging our gear across the beach.  We had so. much. stuff.

 



 

 

The waves were actually pretty big so we did a little boogie boarding.  Even Jake tried it out.  He didn't like it.

 

 

 

 

The boys had races on the beach.

Eric and I were reminded again of how we need to work on losing gracefully at home...

 

 

 

Oh, I can't forget to mention how we almost sunk the party barge.

Yep, true story.

The water got pretty rough towards the end of the day.  There were big swells, and Nikell and I were feeling a little nervous.  A big wave crashed right over the front of our boat and the front end went underwater.  Really, under the water.  I thought the boys were going to get throw off the front and then we'd sink.  But thank goodness, the only casualty was a flip flop.  Phew.

 

Eric and I went out on a date tonight.  We giggled through dinner because we were the youngest people in the restaurant by about 30 years.  It seemed like we were dining at Del Boca Vista.  We had a great view of about 50 elderly men playing in a poker tournament next door.  It was awesome.  We wandered around Pier Park and then saw a movie.  Perfect night.
