Our last day in Florida, we wanted to drive to the Gulf Coast. We have never been to the Gulf Coast, and heard it had amazing beaches and water. So we drove to Clearwater, FL and found Sand Key Park. It was such a fun place to hang out. We spent the majority of the day there.
We found 3 hermit crab shells. They were so fun to find! I always look for shells everytime I go to the coast. And I never find anything besides small shells or shards of bigger shells. I was so excited!! And the kids were too. Especially Joseph, he is my shell buddy. And Joe was brave enough to deal with the crabs....
Addie loves swimming in the water, especially the ocean. She couldn't be happier. She pretends she's a mermaid...
And Joseph loves to play in the sand. He has started to enjoy playing in the water more, it was a bit warmer then the Oregon coast. And when he's in the water, he pretends to be a shark...
There were so many seagulls, the kids had fun watching them.
I was trying to capture how many shells there were!! So many
And while we were getting ready to leave, a pirate ship sailed by!!
And we even saw a pod of dolphins swim in front of it. It was our second time seeing them in the wild, but this was up close!! We tried to get pictures, but you couldn't tell what we were looking at. So fun!
It was a perfect day to end our vacation. We could have stayed at the ocean many more days. We can't get enough of the beach! It was a fun vacation....we were beyond exhausted! I think the kids were sad to leave, but were ready to slow down too.
