Day 6

Day 6 was our last full day and was a day of hope. We had rescheduled both of our adventures. That morning I called Airboat Adventures to confirm we were still on. We got dressed and headed out only to find rain and more rain. Of course, by the time we got through traffic because apparently everyone leaves on Saturday morning, the skies had opened up and it was a full downpour once again. Our swamp tour was cancelled so we drove around a bit which included a drive-thru of the local airport and bay bridge. We eventually made it back to the resort and let the kids do a little swimming since it was not thundering or lightening. The resort was empty, we practically had the place to ourselves until that afternoon when the new groups arrived for the week. 

Sunrise Saturday morning.


I got a kick out of this...the guy is getting the jet skis out and ready to go with a double red flag which means you can not get into the water and of course more rain was headed in. As you can tell the locals were simply clueless as well when it came to the weather.



Checkout all the seaweed that was pushed in with the rough seas all week. The water reminded me of the Texas Coast.





When more storms hit we headed back up to the room.




We ventured out late afternoon for an early dinner at Margaritaville.








When we got back to the resort the rain had subsided. We originally had plans to take beach photos with a professional on Friday evening. With the weather those did not turnout as we had hoped. I convinced the kids to change clothes quickly, run down take pics and then they could swim and play their hearts out. The following pics by no means are professional however we at least got some and I don't think they turned out to bad.




Dalton was my photographer for our pictures. Thankful to have these shots.
