...a day at the aquarium...and the beach...

...another gorgeous sunny day at the beach...sorry about that fog on the lens...that's what happens when you take a camera from the air conditioning out onto the hot and humid balcony...

...but we spent the hottest part of the day here...at the aquarium...

...Scout was definitely in his element...

...and just like when he was little...he still loves the petting area...

...the big tanks are so amazing...I could just sit and watch them for hours...

...the same with the jellyfish...they might not be nice to meet in the ocean...but they are so graceful and peaceful to watch...

...Scout and his papa getting up close to the fish...

...and watching the big fish...I think they're trying to get a glimpse of the Moray Eel hiding in that cave...

...I just love how it feels like you could walk right through the glass into their world...

...you can get so close to the fish...

...and see so much detail...

...at the end Scout cranked out a couple of smashed pennies...

...to add to his collection...it's amazing how many touristy places offer these little mementos...

...and when we got back to our room...there was still plenty of time for some wave play...

...no sign of any sharks on our stretch of beach...but I think people were being extra cautious because of all the recent shark bites along the coast...there were very few people actually 'in' the water...

...then back across the beautiful dunes...

...for a little pool time...I fondly remember how much fun the rare 'chlorine' swim was for us as kids...

...and another late walk on the beach...

...in the moonlight...

~Have a lovely day!
