Ok so we left off with my birthday celebration our first night at the beach. The next day we of course hit the water after a nice breakfast out on the balcony.
this little boy is ready to go!
The boys went ahead down and set up our tent, and then we all went down together with all of our crap. Itโs amazing how much stuff you need to just sit outside by the water!
Quick! what does this picture remind you of? I will give you a hint, it involves an episode of one of my favorite TV shows with a guy names RaymondโฆIf you get it right you get 10 cool points in my book!
Here is our little set upโฆ
of course we had to take the obligatory beach picturesโฆ
Not really sure why this happenedโฆ
ย
I wish I knew what was so funny. โฆOf course I had to get a picture in my Saints chair.
The boys threw the frisbee
it was a good morning! I walked down the beach with my dad, read my book, and people watched. We got hungry around 12 and headed up to the condo for lunch, then Bobby, my dad and I headed back to the beach for awhile. my mom is not a beach person so she stayed in the room. What a party pooper.
here I am rocking a Running Skirts strappy top as a swimsuit top!
anyone else noticed howโฆehโฆexpressive my dad is?
That night, we went to dinner at the Back Porch.
It started out a little rocky. Its an open air restaurant with open windows all the way across like duh, a big back porch. Well, they stuck us in the back corner in a hole that was dark and away from all windows. it was HOT and dark and I was not happy. This was supposed to be my birthday dinner and I was miserable! I was about to start crying when we finally decided to go get back on the waiting list for a table by the windows. A few minutes later we were put upstairs at a window. MUCH cooler and prettier view! Crisis averted!

I got blackened chicken with pastaโฆthe chicken was so spicy I couldnโt eat it so I just had pasta. Oh well. Bobby got some kind of seafood platter.
ย
After dinner we went back to the condo and played board games because we are cool like that. it was early to bed because Bobby had class the next morning. oh, I forgot to mention, the first night on the beach we went out after dark to go crab hunting, one of Bobbyโs favorite things. Itโs so entertaining!

between the walks up and down the beach during the day and evening, I probably walked 2 miles or so on Sunday. My knee was sore because walking in the sand was so toughโฆggrrโฆ
QOTD: When you go to a restaurant do you sit wherever they put you or do you make special requests? We are such picky restaurant people. Booth, please, away from the kitchen and far the heck away from the smoking section if there is one!
I love that running top you used as a bathing suit top. SO cute! And I cannot handle blackened chicken either. I like spicy, but that’s just a burning spicy!
You look sooo cute and breakfast looks sooo yummy!
Love travel posts!!!
Mmmmm… I LOVE spicy food so “so spicy cannot eat it” sounds perfect to me… most of the time when a restaurant tells me something is super spicy it is not spicy at all to my taste buds ๐
this was like mouth on fire spicy, lol! I was not a fan.
QOTD: I make very specific requests as I am instructed…
ggrrr
I’m not too picky. I hate asking for change. I usually just deal. I know I shouldn’t be like that, especially since I’m the one paying, but it’s how I am. It’s funny to me that you have to request to be away from a smoking section. Up here, smoking’s not allowed anywhere. It hasn’t been allowed for such a long time that I forget there are still plenty of places that do allowed smoking!
where I used to live didn’t allow it either, but we just moved to the MS gulf coast = casinos everywhere! so, they have to allow it in restaurants or the casinos wouldn’t be able to have it….unfortunately!
I was just going to say WHAT, restaurants allow smoking??? Even in Vegas, where you can smoke in the casinos, you can’t smoke in restaurants. We are way spoiled here in CA in that regard, though. You pretty much can’t smoke anywhere. It’s great!
Love the strappy top as bathing suit top, too! I’m going to have to borrow that idea!
love all the pics and when I eat out I am picky about where they seat me…it has to be where I want or I’ll wait (or go somewhere else) lol
Awww, you guys are so cute and fun together! I usually sit where I’m placed unless it is dirty or an air duct is shooting on me- i don’t like being really cold when I eat!
