I am going to make this brief because I am about to fall directly on my face. It is now 11:30 pm. Three hours ago we arrived home from a day trip to the coast.
We had a blast!
We boarded a 100 ' boat and set out to dolphin watch today. In addition, while on the boat, the children were surprised with the opportunity to try their hand at fishing. The weather was beautiful. Several times I just closed my eyes, took in deep breaths, and richly enjoyed the wind in my face. We had the delight of docking on a deserted island that has wild horses on it. My daughter was totally excited about the prospects of seeing a wild horse. And sure enough, we were not disappointed. We slowly and quietly explored the island, and came upon three horses grazing. Amazing! After a bit of time exploring, we boarded the boat and began our ride back to the harbor.
We arrived back around 4:00 --- changed clothes -- and headed to a waterfront restaurant for an oh-so yummy supper! So thankful for recommendations from the local people who disclose the best places to eat!
After supper, we headed to the beach to look for shells. The sand was so white, so soft, and so cool to the touch. As the kids walked up and down the beach, Brian and I sat close by the ocean and watched the waves gently roll in. We watched the children gather their treasures. We watched the birds chase one another like remote controlled cars. We watched the boats and speculated about how long it takes the large freighters to cross the Atlantic. It was such a delightful time by all!
Then the time came to head home. We burned a trail up the highway, and arrived home in time to watch a late night movie with the kids... After all, it is Friday evening, right?!
So now it is nearly midnight... the children turned in around 11:00 - and now it is my turn! The posting of pictures will have to wait until tomorrow...
Night all!
