A bit chilly this morning but another beautiful sunrise. I was out on the balcony around 6:30 am, well before sunrise but the sky was already beginning to lighten.
I went back inside to read a bit then went back out as the sun started breaking out of the water.
After breakfast Diane, Aunt Jinnie, mom and I took a walk to the public beach. We passed mom's Lani Kai condo, Diane and Rhonda's Gulf Side town homes and Taunya's Ocean Reef condo.
The public beach has a wonderful system of paved walks that go on a long way with benches and shade if needed.
They even had a blue T system to take a wheel chair out a ways onto the sand.
It wasn't easy pushing the wheel chair on that so we didn't go out very far. We made it back to the condo after noon and had more left overs from Lamberts for lunch. I think we are about out of those left overs now. Diane, Rachel and Rhonda went to the beach as the day had warmed up nicely. Mom, Aunt Jinnie and I stayed up at the condo and enjoyed the balcony for a few hours. The picture below was taken from mom's balcony.
Joan bought more bait and a new tackle for her poles and went down to fish. Her very first cast she caught a nice big pompano.
While we were on the balcony looking at the Gulf, Faith pointed out a pod of dolphins fishing. I had to zoom in quite a bit as not only were we 10 stories high the dolphins were not close to the beach but quite a ways out.
At 4:30 pm people started making their way back to the condo to get ready for dinner. There was abundant sunshine today and some of us ended up with just a little too much sun. Tonight Diane, Rachel, Aunt Jinnie, mom and I went to the Original Oyster House for dinner. Of course we had to take pictures with the aligator.
Dinner was good. Three of us just ordered the salad bar which is excellent while Aunt Jinnie ordered the fried shrimp and Rachel ordered the shrimp Florentine. Both of their meals were really good too. After dinner we got home just as the sun had sunk into the water but it was still light enough out for some pictures. Below is looking East as the lights were coming on.
Below Aunt Jinnie and Diane are taking pictures of the sunset.
The moon was just a tiny sliver.
Rachel and Diane left for Pensacola airport to pick up Dan who is flying in to help us drive mom home. His plane gets in at 8:00 pm so they should be home a little after 9:00 pm. Spark and Rhonda came walking over for a visit this evening. They have now left, mom and Aunt Jinnie are in bed and I'm heading there soon.
