In an effort to spot sea turtles for Mommy, we took a lengthy moonlight stroll on the beach. The moon is full and beautiful, hovering over the ocean and illuminating the beach. We didn't see any turtles though!
Still, it was quite a walk. The weather was just perfect as the five of us walked along the shoreline. Madison is so happy to be here, holding hands with us as we walk along. She loves getting her feet wet, and then of course there are those errant waves that surprise us, leaving us a bit more soaked than we intended.
Madison made some new friends today, and together we helped build some sand castles - a massive complex of spires surrounding a lake we built. It was pretty impressive! This picture shows castle #2 of 3 being constructed - the first is done there to the right. You can see a long canal that stretches the ocean - Madison dug this earlier, quite focused in her little project.
Later, when we needed a little break, Daddy and Madison drove up the street about ten minutes to Ron Jon Surf shop. You can see a zillion billboards in Florida for the place, even some in Georgia. It's sort of like Wall Drug in that respect. But Ron Jon is - some might say regrettably - nothing like Wall Drug. It's actually a respectable surf shop, filled with lots of items related to surfing, beach life and so forth. There was even a section of vinyl records there, among them of course an album by the Beach Boys. Madison posed for a few photo ops, but we weren't there that long.
Tonight we had another big dinner, and another big game of Clue. Before bed, we've been reading from Daddy's devotional, and also reading book four of the "Elsa and Anna" series. We've been doing that each night here. Daddy's been reading on his own a pretty good prequel book called "Before Tomorrowland." It's actually better than the movie, in my opinion - lots of fun and adventure.
Speaking of tomorrow, it's going to be another nice day at the beach with nothing in particular on the to-do list. See you then!
