after a stroll on the beach...

 we headed to the pool...

after cleaning up - we headed to an early dinner at...

 pretty cool place made from three old renovated houses

 the food was great too...

after dinner we headed to the strand for

shopping, browsing, people watching...

daddy's one request was to sit and watch the boats come in

so we sat on the porch at the olympia

 and had some drinks and watched the boats...

 and lots of brown pelicans...

 once we returned to the camper

it was back to the pool for a night swim...

sunday morning and it's a full morning at the beach...

it began to rain in the late afternoon

so the only thing to do was take a big fat nap!!!

then it was to the seawall for a stroll...

and into historic murdoch's for beach souvenirs...

 and drinks on the veranda...

 while we watched the sun go down...

for dinner we walked across the street to....

look at those sun kissed faces!!

we then headed to...

 where we visited the aquarium and rainforest pyramids

butterflies

 sloth

I do believe that the sweet dozing otter might rip your face off
