Day 1     Day 2     Day 3     Day 4

After sleeping in as long as we wanted, which for me meant all of 7:00 a.m. - used to getting up with those darned kids of mine - we had a yummy breakfast and headed out for an adventure. We drove by some beautiful beach homes on our way to the ferry. We drove in one of the neighborhoods to check out the houses, all of which were beautiful shades of beach home color - fuscia, purple, pink, lime green - you get the picture. I figured we’d stop and see how much one of the homes for sale was. HOLY CRAP! A 3000 square foot home on a teeny tiny lot that it barely fit on was $1.75 million! I knew they’d be spendy, but I didn’t know they’d be ridiculously spendy! We got on the ferry and had a fun 20 minute ride across to South Port to go shopping. On our way over, we saw some dolphins playing in the bay, swimming next to the ferry. It was pretty cool! Here are my Aunt Joan, Aunt Arlene, Aunt Diane, and Me on the ferry:

 

After a few hours of shopping and enjoying the views, we had a great lunch and headed back to the dock. We heard some cannons being fired and wondered what the heck was going on. Turns out there were a couple pirate ships in the bay shooting cannons at each other for a film crew. Pretty cool! One of the ships was still out there when the ferry took us back:

After we got back to Diane’s, she and I ran back out to head to the liquor store, grocery store, and fish market. We needed supplies for the evening! We got some stuff to make mudslides with, bought ingredients for quessadillas and artichoke dip, and got some fresh-off-the-boat peel and eat shrimp from the fish market. YUMMOLA! We had a great time just hanging out, snacking, drinking, and playing cards. It was a nice relaxing day toward the end of our vacation.

Sadly, we all had to pack that evening because our flight left the next afternoon. Check back tomorrow for Day 6 adventures - even Hummers won’t start when they run out of gas!
