Florida Vacation - Day 4

On Day 4 of the Florida vacation, Pete/Sam/Mom/Dad/Skyler knew that Robin/Dean/Shayna would be asleep for a while so they headed off for some morning adventures. They stopped at Tropical Smoothie Cafe,


then headed over to Sugar Sand Park to play in the awesome playground there. Watch out for the huge banana spiders!


You can see that in Boca they don't cut any corners on the free playgrounds.


When they got back to the house around noon, everyone was still asleep so they took a dip in the pool. After some chocolate chip pancakes for lunch, it was time to head over to Red Reef Park for some more beach time and snorkeling. The tropical fish by the reef were awesome. Unfortunately Sam's snorkel was broken, but he was able to snorkel a little bit. Pete held his breath and dived down to the reef a few times.

Sam was too tired to go to the Inlet, so after buying some drinks they headed back to the house for some dinner (pizza). Dean caught a big turtle and the boys swam with it in the pool for a little while. Mom also got a nice picture of a cool bird (anhinga?):


Dad was also happy to see his old sketch of Manny's boat (from 1999) hanging above the turtle aquarium:


Around 10pm it was boisterous TV time (Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm). It was too loud for Pete to sleep, and Dad's bed was in the TV room, so Dad, Pete, and Skyler headed out for an evening walk. Skyler said it wasn't far to his school, so they walked there. Two hours and 4.5 miles later, they arrived back home, ready for bed.
