Spent the morning on the beach, building mermaids, filling holes in the beach with seawater, paddling in the small waves, and enjoying the sun.
Had lunch at the apartment, then spent the afternoon at the pool. Ellie worked out how to swim across the hot tub, while wearing swimming mask. Mark worked up the courage to get into the hot tub, then to get into it while the bubbles were running. He did have to tell me about 4,000 times 'Mummy the hot tub is all bubbly!'
I took a little walk to the other side of the island - overlooking the waterway between Anna Maria Island and Florida mainland. I watched a kingfisher diving, pelicans flying slowly across the water, and a white bird stand on one leg in the mud. It was very peaceful... apart from the jetskis.
By 5pm everyone was a bit sunburnt. Mike and I went out for dinner. We thought we'd try the Sand Bar and have a romantic meal overlooking the beach, but it was full of extremely slow moving 104 year olds, so we tried Hurricane Hanks instead. It was in a strip mall and looked completely nothing from the outside, but everyone raved about it so we went in. And it was very nice, thank you.
Mark very excited by the sea
