On Day Six, after breakfast, after
blogging, after lunch, and after Joshua's nap, we finally made it out to
Pirate's Island Adventure Golf in Gulf Shores, which we'd been talking about all week.
This time we went on the Blackbeard course, which was reported to be more "stroller-friendly."
It was a great time, though towards the end the kids started to get hot and tired.
After the vigorous exercise of the golf game, the grandparents went to pick up some shrimp and other goodies for the evening meal, and we took the kids to one of the many, many souvenir shops in town, which I believe was called the Purple Octopus, presumably because of the many-tentacled ways they have of extracting your money from you.
Daniel bought himself some pirate-y things, while Maggie got a professional hair braiding with beads.
After the kids had been relieved of most of their money, we went to a nearby ice cream place for a snack.
The evening was capped off with a truly fantastic meal of the aforementioned shrimp (boiled), salad, and the best hush puppies I've ever had, followed by a walk on the beach for Angie and me after the kids were in bed under grandparental supervision. It was beautiful out there alone on the beach under the stars, and very nice to have some brief time to ourselves for the second time in a week!
