Beach Vacation 2009, Day Three

One thing I forgot to mention on days 1 and 2 was that my brother, Bennett, has become an excellent cook! When we arrived on Sunday night, he made tacos with his own homemade salsa, and Monday morning he made Alton Brown's French Toast recipe. Both were awesome, and I wanted to make sure he got credit. Thanks, Bennett!
Okay, now on to Day Three: Breakfast on day 3 was just cereal, so we were able to get right out and go swimming in the morning. We took the Spring Float out to the sandbar as a family minus Joshua. The older kids, as I mentioned, are really becoming excellent swimmers, so heading out to the sandbar was no problem for them. It is amazing to see how far they've come. After our swim, we had talked about going to play Pirate Golf again, but since Angie's back had been hurting, and Bennett's dear wife, Lynley, has a hurt foot, we decided to do something more wheelchair-accessible that wouldn't require bending. So we headed to the National Naval Aviation Museum near Pensacola. Joshua seemed to have a good time, there were several interesting and fun things for Daniel and Maggie to do, and there was even information about the U.S.S. Hornet, where my grandfather (mom's dad) was stationed as a fighter pilot in World War II.
After the museum the party moved to LuLu's Restaurant for an hour-and-a-half wait, some off-key musicians, and some excellent food. If you don't recall from last year, LuLu is the self-proclaimed "crazy sista" of beach musician Jimmy Buffett, and her restaurant is extremely popular. We capped off the evening with a game of "You've Been Sentenced," and everyone collapsed into bed exhausted.
