A couple of months ago I mentioned the idea of renting a boat on vacation. We decided that would be our anniversary gift to each other, and we had an amazing morning. Macy was pretty unsure of this adventure, but she quickly came to love every moment of it. We spent 4 1/2 hours exploring Perdido Bay as well as some of the bayous. On a couple of occasions we saw some dolphins. We have been on dolphin cruises before, but this was so fun to be able to search them out and watch them as long as you wanted.
We then found some small Florida islands to anchor at for a bit. The water was crystal clear.
The girls enjoyed catching hermit crabs. I think they found about 14 in all.
We found some more dolphins.
And each of the girls had an opportunity to captain the ship. They absolutely loved it!
Macy got pretty adventurous and would steer us right into the wakes of other boats so that we would bump up and down. She is my thrill seeker!
And somebody crashed on the way back. We joke about how she fell asleep in the "No Wake Zone" for the boats. Oh, and the girls also saw a police boat. They thought that was pretty neat.
We grabbed lunch at our favorite restaurant, the Shrimp Basket, then we headed to the beach for a couple of hours before calling it a day. Even with the nap they were all wiped out that evening.
