Gulf Coast-Day 2





Got up early and hit the beach for an early morning walk. Ridge was still a little intimidated by the waves. His favorite thing about the beach so far is the little shower things they have on the boardwalks to wash off sand.

After our walk we ran by the sundries and got some sausage biscuits for breakfast. The rest of the afternoon consisted of trips to the pool and naps in the afternoon when it was really hot. While the boys and D slept, Daddy got some good down-time by the pool. Catching up on his reading and working on his tan.

We went to an early dinner at The Red Bar. A local hangout that everyone recommended. Good food and great atmosphere, unfortunately Rdige was not into it, and we gobbled our food down as fast as possible since he was on the verge of a meltdown. It's like dining with a ticking time bomb.

After dinner we took the boys to The Sugar Shak and picked out some candy. Riding a sugar-high we took the boys back down the beach so Ridge could play with his glow sticks. Finally, his fear of the waves diminished and we experienced that moment that we have been anticipating since we get here and he spent the next half hour or so splashing in the surf.

We watched the big giant ball of fire sink into the the horizon while we walked back to our condo. Stayed up late watching cartoons. Great day.
