We knew we had to plan the trip around Bosch's move from the basement to the back yard, so we decided to go before we moved him outside, and chose the week of May 5th. This was a great choice for a couple of reasons...first, the weather! High 70's to low 80's the whole week, with a nice breeze off the ocean! Second, since school was still in session it was not very crowded anywhere, at the condo, at the beach or anywhere we went.
Here are a few highlights....if you want to see more photos go here
Leaving the ocean....i briefly considered going in, but then saw the dinner plate sized dead jellyfish that had washed up on the beach, and quickly lost interest.
We picked out a few tourist-y things we wanted to do....
Alligator Adventure!
Lots of reptiles....alligators, crocs and lots of tortoises!
Then the Ripley's Aquarium, where i FINALLY got to touch a ray!
BTW...i did notice that all the rays in the large tank had their barbs removed.
Mostly we just wanted to relax...
Sam brought a guitar
and did some fishing in the pond that was behind the condo...
...and eventually caught something!
I tracked down a yarn shop!
And was able to knit in peace (and by peace i mean no kitties trying to attack my needles, steal my yarn, or take up every bit of space on my lap!)
We ate good food, our favorite being a tiny little hamburger joint called 'Hamburger Heaven'...and boy was it...plus look how cute!
All and all we had a fabulous time!

Sorry you had to take Sam.
You should have called my brother, he lives there.
Actually, almost all of the Brooks clan lives there now.
You were very unsafe.
