BEACH TRIP!

Good Saturday morning!

I took a week off from blogging...

And I kinda didn't plan on taking a week off...

But it felt really good.

We went to the beach Tuesday, came home last night and now I'm doing laundry and trying to remember the correct day of the week.

We had a fine time at the beach. The weather was great, the water was a little seaweedy and the company was sweet.

This was a working trip for Mikie, so he played with us during the afternoon hours and went to meetings during the morning hours.

Here are just a few pics to hold you until Tuesday when I will begin to blog on schedule!


The waves weren't big enough for boogie boarding, but playing Frisbee was just fine.



It looks like Hunter was throwing a Frisbee into an unknown kid's head... and smiling about it.

But surely that wasn't the case.


Mike, Josh and Austin.


Melia and Austin.


Mikie and Roxie.


Just Mikie.


We went to a new place called The Fishbowl.

Get it?

FISH... BOWL!


Austin and Melia.


Roxie and her Bass Ball.


The winnah!

I was AWESOME!


Melia and Austin have eaten at this place before, and they loved it.

We decided to try it on the way out of town, and it was unanimous...

A new beach tradition!


The owner, Molly, stapled her first $1 tip to the wall in 1977. Since that time, over a million people have stapled $1 bills to the ceiling and walls.

Pretty cool.


They make homemade root beer and serve it with a green cherry.

It was so good.


I had the Chicken Salad Plate and it was huge.


Hunter and Roxie decorated their bill...


And stapled that sucker to the wall!

Nothing says "great place to eat" better than a waiter bringing a staple gun and a Sharpie to the table.

NOTE - The black bread they serve before dinner is warm, sweet and oh, so good.

The hamburgers are huge and there are a ton of varieties. (Hunter ate the Pizza Burger and Roxie ordered the Barbecue Cheddar Burger. Both were delicious.)

Since it is an Irish place from top to bottom, Josh ordered the Lamb Stew.

Personally, I thought that was a mistake, but he ate every bit and declared it to be really, really tasty.

I'm just going to have to take his word for it.

I'll be back Tuesday with lots more beach pics and some useful stuff, too.

Take care, and I'll talk to you next week.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting Belinda
