Well, my goal is to finish blogging about our trip before Christmas!
I should be done by then! haha
These are Day 4 pics. We were so worn out from the Disney parks that we thought it would be a good idea to just chill and not do anything too spectacular on Day 4. As promised, we graced the Lego store with our presence again. I swear we had to tell Sam if you say "Lego Store" one more time we will NEVER EVER go in one again! haha He bugged us nonstop from the first night that we had to put an end to that!
He stayed primarily in the Star Wars section and talked to random strangers about the various products. He is currently saving up for the Death Star ($800 I think!)
Good luck with that one, Sam! ;)
Gandalf the grey
Their loot
The cool outdoor display of characters made completely of Legos
Beauty and the Beast
Ready to go to the pool. We were originally going to just chill and then head to the beach, but the boys were insanely attached to the idea of getting to swim in the pool at the hotel. So we obliged and they were ecstatic (see next pic)
We started at the Kiddie pool (a foot deep)
(check out his super cute swimsuit from Ms. Sheri and Make A Wish!!)
and then moved on to the bigger pool...
Both boys are pretty good swimmers but we insisted on the life jackets because that water was butt freezing cold and I didn't want them to drown while Joseph and I argued over who had to jump in to save them! haha
I finally convinced Sam to try the giant slide. He was so scared at first but then once he realized they recycled the water through the slide and it was significantly warmer than the pools, he went down the slide another 20 times!
We couldn't decide which Pacific coast beach to go to.....too many options
Finally decided on Balboa and it was very pretty
After walking out on the pier we told the boys they could play in the sand
Literally 5 seconds later they were shoeless and doing sand angels! yuck! boys!
If you zoom in on Joseph's expression it will tell you just how cold the water was!
It was beautiful, different and a great first experience.....but (you knew there was a but!) we still are in love with our Destin and Ft. Walton Beach beaches. I guess that white sand will always stay in my blood! haha
They had a beautiful little town, and manicured park area, so cute!
Our view for dinner. We ate at a little harborside restaurant. Watched a pelican and a seagull fight over a fish, a rowing team row by, tiny/medium/big/huge boats go by, and several ferry trips during dinner. Overall it was a great day to just chill and see some sights.
I'll post pics from our last day soon (we went to the zoo!)
