Sun, Seaweed, and Fun

Posted by Lisa on September 13th, 2005 — Posted in Travel

Today we had a great beach day. As I said earlier, the sea was calmer and the wind was down, and we were able to swim. There was a ton of nasty seaweed in the water, and I had issues trying to swim. Cara and I attempted but the seaweed combined with the shelly bottom, made it too hard, so we used the pool to cool off. We were also able to fish in the ocean. Alan and Joel were the only ones to catch a fish today. We had a beautiful sunset tonight, and a wonderful meal that Lauren and Criss made- yummy kabobs!!! Some of the boys are planning on trying to catch some sharks tonight while the rest of us hang out and play games. As of right now we aren’t going to be evacuated but everyone is being pessimistic and saying we will be. I of course, will not believe it, and plan to get some great pics as the hurricane comes through.

Fishing

Posted by Lisa on September 13th, 2005 — Posted in Travel

Yesterday, the boys and Cara went fishing while the rest of us relaxed by the pool. They caught tons of fish and had a great time. They go to this spot that I would love to fish at, because they all caught lots of fish. Cara even caught something on her first cast. Criss apparently got bit by a fish. Afterwards, we all hung out at the pool, got tan/burnt and the boys had a cannon ball dash. Cara, Joel, and I fixed dinner last night. We had burgers and dogs, and taco salad. Joel also made these amazing clams in a garlic cream sauce. I never realized how much I liked clams until this weekend. The night befrore Al had made clams with a buttery crumb topping. Yummy! We then watched the Eagles get spanked, and Janets friends Joe and Stephanie came over to hang out with us. They’re staying down the street. The news on the hurricane is that it’s presently a tropical storm and coming towards us. They’ve evacuated Hatteras, hopefully we won’t be following. Hatteras is about an hour away. The earliest we would have to leave would be Wed morning. Today is looking to be a perfect beach day. The red flag is down is now we can swim, and it’s supposedly going to be sunny and in the 80s with hardly any wind. Joel has already made good use of the day, and has gone fishing in the waves. Unfortunately, no fish for him yet. More updates to come…
