The last full day arrived. It was my first time taking a long run/walk and it didn't disappoint. With the heat creeping up, and waves crashing, seagulls crying out....the run was what you would want in a beach run. I took a long look at the early morning surf as the sun started to climb and created a silver shimmer across the tops of the waves. Very nice. For Jillian and Jake, they noted we only placed mini-golf once so we quickly planned out a game at Mt Atlanticus on the Conch Course with Jen and myself. Jordan hung back to get some more pool-sun time to perfect her tan!
Steve and Michelle took their kids over to Broadway at the Beach where they got in some shopping and game play but quickly felt the heat! Matty and Jack returned with two custom RC cars which were quite cool. Later that night Jake would also pick one up. It was quite an impressive (and expensive!) store but the boys really loved it!! So we all met up and headed down to the beach one final time. By Noon the sands were quite hot. The kids grabbed lemon ice from the girl pushing the beach cart and all was good again!
The remnants of our mer-man's hair was still on the beach. Today was one of the best water days. It was so good that Matty made his SC surf debut as he and Jake got on the boogie boards!!! The vacation was now complete! Jen and I were under the umbrellas enjoying a breeze and gazing out at the surf. You cannot help but to feel you never want to leave. I think that is a good sign of a great vacation.
As we all got showered up and washed the last of the ocean water off we made plans to head to the Hard Rock Cafe which is a giant pyramid. It was evident that the meal of choice for most were fajitas of some sort. Matty kept his string of chicken tenders meals in place and continues the world record. He knows his chicken tenders!!
The evening ended with Jillian, Jake, Matty and Kayla all getting sprayed on tattoos!! This decision process was not an easy one but they are now owners of some fine artwork.
As I got back to the room I really dreaded the fact that we had to pack but you do what you must......
