Our fourth day of vacation was . .. my birthday!!! :-) Yes, we planned our vacation over my birthday and, if I'm being honest, I was super excited that it worked out that way! What a perfect birthday gift to be on vacation!
We started our day heading back to Fort Pickin's to fully explore the entire fort. It was such a beautiful day! Darryl and Nate are full explorers where Josh and I are are walk-through people so it worked out perfectly.
The fort is really amazing. What is more amazing is that you can just wonder and explore on your own and walk down the same halls and into the same rooms that so many people did before throughout history.
One of the things I was excited to do on my birthday was see the Blue Angels and they did not disappoint! They practice on Tuesdays and the best view is right in Fort Picken's! They were right above our heads and it was just amazing to see AND hear them! Amazing!!
Once we had our fill of exploring (and we were SUPER hot) we went back to the condo to relax for a bit. The consensus was - it was time for my gifts and who was I to say no HA!
Before we left on vacation, Darryl, Josh and Nate took some time to go shopping and to pick out birthday stuff to bring with us. They brought balloons and had some fun making it look festive. (While I enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony - my favorite place!)
It was my dinner choice and . . .well . .it did not go well HA! It became a joke that anytime I picked dinner, it was not good!! My first choice was a pizza place on the boardwalk but when we got there we discovered that it was really more of a take out place with a few tables outside . .. and an hour wait for pizza. So, we went to choice too which was Water Pig - a BBQ place right on the beach. First, they sat us at a picnic table in the sand on the beach which was so low to the ground, Darryl couldn't even get his legs under the table so we moved to the outdoor deck . .. and the tables and chairs (a high top) were so uncomfortable that I ended up standing the whole time! The food . . .it was just not good. Talk about disappointing!! Oh well, not everything can be a winner, right??
Once we finished dinner, we headed to Publix so the boys could pick out a cake for my birthday (and I could pick up the last food items we would need to get through the week).
Back at the condo we enjoyed some delicious chocolate cake for my birthday!
Really, it was a perfect day. I didn't even mind our not so great dinner choices because it was still an adventure.
