Day 6

Para sailing has been on my bucket list for a few years. We decided at the beginning of the week that I would be checking this off my list on Thursday. I was slightly surprised and excited when Andrew and Olivia decided to join me. We only had to walk a few yards down the beach to schedule our trip.  We signed a few release forms, were fitted for life jackets, and casually told to climb on the banana boat. 
We went up to 800 feet, and it was absolutely breathtaking.  We were able to see schools of stingrays.  I am convinced that I spotted a sea turtle.  However, Andrew strongly disagrees.  My favorite part of the experience was sharing it with my treasures.  I am certain that they will remember this special time sailing 800 feet above the ocean with their momma.



That evening we got cleaned up, and I managed to snap a few photos before a storm quickly made its appearance.  We then headed to Lambert's for dinner.  We all really enjoyed the fun atmosphere.  Our waitress played several practical jokes on the kids.  I did make the mistake of letting them have soda as a super special vacation treat.  We left the restaurant stuffed and just a little hyper. 
With that said, there is something about the beach that makes sleep come easily.
