May 29, 2022 - Sunday

Today was a great first full day on vacation. We woke up and hung out for a little while and then Ben took the kids down to the pool while I was getting things ready for the beach. We played at the beach for a couple of hours (exhausting! dehydrating! too sunny!) and then came back for lunch and quiet time. After quiet time, which miraculously worked out very smoothly, we went down to the pool for a couple of hours and then out to dinner at our favorite beach restaurant, Bubba's. Sadly, we weren't able to be seated together, but it was still a good dinner. After dinner, we headed to the pier in Garden City, just two or three miles down the road, and were very surprised by the party atmosphere there. It was super confusing to get onto the pier. You had to pass through an arcade and then through a bar, where they were having karaoke. It was packed and honestly looked like a really good time. There was a water ice vendor out there and then, at the very end of the pier, another bar. It was a fun little adventure for our families to end the day with. We didn't get to do a beach walk, since we got back from the pier right around bed time. 

After the kids were FINALLY in bed for the night, we made some of the Jester Juice that we had on our honeymoon day cruise that we went on. We had to use nearly all substitute ingredients, but it turned out to be delicious! We all played Ticket to Ride and Jenny won. Womp womp. :)
