My niece and I visited the MAC table for glitter and red lips.

......

Miss Sassypants and I also went to see Aladdin at the Kennedy Center.

The three of them drove from Michigan all day just in time to make it to the show.

Little diva ❤️

Thanks to my brother in law Bryan for scoring tickets for us.

The genie was awesome!!

Do we pack light? \240Never.

But first some mani-pedis.

We ordered a 4 meat plate with 2 sides and still couldn’t finish it. They served it with three types of Carolina sauce.

I also tried a Watermelon Lager.

Yum!!

Fish tacos for the win.

First stop was Lulus Cafe for lunch and the first cocktail of the trip.

Mom: Margarita

Me: Palm Bay (coconut rum, pineapple and cranberry juice)

While Brooke and I were enjoying pool time, mom, Maygon and Lorelai went to the Aquarium

This is what’s called: living my best life.

Reading by the pool.

Beach babes

Toes in the sand

My niece was afraid of the ocean ......but quickly got over it

I love my sisters.

Frozen drinks are a must sometimes.

Walking along the boardwalk.

Skyline in the background.

Adventures await on the Atlantic.

(As you can see, were all very much awake)

Ocean Adventure is over for the morning.

And these guys caught a shark!!!

Lots of fisherman out!!

Enjoying the cruise out from the inlet to the big blue ocean

Our guide was telling us that the shrimp boats haven’t been out for the last few weeks, so the fact they were out today was a good sign. Shrimp boats = good sightings for dolphins.

There was a jet ski tour going on at the same time and we can across them all gathered close to a dolphin pod!!!! \240I don’t think any of us liked the idea of the jet skis chasing after the dolphins.

We didn’t see any big jumps but I could have stayed there watching them skim the surface.

Beached whale alert! \240(I kid - cuz every body is a beautiful body).

And when we get tired of the pool, we head to the beach.

I may be standing in front of the ocean,

but in my ❤️, I’m always a Great Lakes girl.

Beach hair: don’t care

My sister and niece goofing around.

My niece and I relaxing in the pool.

Still looks promising.

In fact, it’s known for being a local hangout. Always my favorite kind of place.

To a place just a block up the road called the Noizy Oyster. \240They had craft beer from a local joint. And I ordered 1/2 dozen oysters from here - perfection. Not swimming in ice; salty and briny;

Views while I was chatting with my boss about work🙄

Ooh it’s a bit divey inside - even better.

And then I got the oysters and they were swimming in ice, so instead of tasting the salty juice, I got water and mush. Not how one should eat their oysters. I was going to stay and get a steak, but this was disappointing me and some of the locals enjoyed happy hour a little too much, so I decided to move along.

I was originally going to a place called Dirty Don’s Oyster Bar down on the Boardwalk, but the outside seating area was small and crowded, so I decided to walk the 1/2 mile to another place with great reviews: the Original Shuckers restaurant and raw bar.

It looked and sounded promising.
