Vacation Day 7 (6/23/12)

Dear Gage,

Today was our last full day in Miramar Beach, so we decided to spend as much time out on the beach as possible and soak up some rays. Mother Nature had a different idea in mind. Tropical Storm Debby started brewing out in the Gulf, so we had overcast skies. It rained one time during the course of the day, and luckily we were inside eating lunch. The storm made the waves rough and the rip currents strong. We didn't go out any further than waist deep and you didn't make it out past your ankles. We didn't let the weather ruin our fun. We had a lot of fun playing on the beach, building sand castles, and relaxing on the beach.

thing to do, destroying everything we built!

After we packed up and went inside for the day, we cleaned up and went out to eat dinner. We ate at a restaurant not far down the road called Big Kahuna's. We were worried there would be a wait since it was Saturday night, but we got lucky and got a table immediately. We feasted on fried calamari and oysters for appetizers. You got your own fried shrimp plate for your meal and you loved it! I gave you some steamed veggies off my plate to round out your meal, and you ate them up!

After dinner, we took our final stroll on the beach and posed for pictures. The wind was really picking up from the storm and the beach patrol had hung double red flags warning people to stay out of the water. It looked like we were going to be leaving Florida just in time.
