I woke up early and walked around the hotel grounds. It never fails to impress. I even saw the sun for the first time with some blue skies. It didn't last that long after morning passed. However, the beach was filling up and we definitely were ready. No umbrellas yet but we carried our chairs and headed down.
Jen took Jill and Jake for their first walk to the Apache Pier and we hit the waves. Joe and Dorothy arrived early in the afternoon and were ready to take it all in. Once again, weather played a heavy factor. Even though it rained, Jill said 'let's get to the hot tub'. That turned out to be a great idea as we sat in the hot water with a summer rain pouring down on us. We met some other people and it was fun hearing stories from others getting ready to leave.
Dinner that night was at Landry's at Broadway at the Beach. Mahi mahi, shrimp, burgers, and some appetizers. On Thursday night we did a mirror maze and lazer maze race. Jill and Jake tried the lazer maze again tonight. We strolled around a bit and checked out some stores. In one store Jill found a 'baby stuff turtle" that was a perfect match to the one she has at home!!
When we got back to the hotel, Jordan, Elizabeth, Jake and Jill walked to the hotel lobby for some ice creams and hot chocolates (yes...hot chocolate at the beach). Jake and I took a quick night walk on the beach with flashlight in hand hoping to spot some kinda neat find. Nothing yet. But it is only the first one.
Jen, Joe, Dorothy and Joe enjoyed a nice view from the balcony as more fireworks were lit. All in a good day at the beach regardless of the weather!!!
