STAYcation all I ever wanted…
So, we decided to staycation this month… what with the price of gas, the economy, the swine flu… lol… you can pretty much blame everything on those three things! Anyway, we decided to try out our beautiful resort at the Wyndham Oceanside Pier and it was great!
We went fishing…
Isaiah caught his very first fish!
It’s HUUUUGE! I think it was the spiderman fishing pole that brought him luck!
We walk the pier all the time since we live so close. The kids run from bucket to bucket checking out the day’s catch, so it was pretty exciting for them to have a catch of their own. Then…
Grandpa caught a STARfish!
Later, Daddy caught one too… not very good eatin’ so we threw em back.
Lily let Grandma borrow her pink barbie fishing pole, but all she caught was seaweed. Lots and lots of seaweed. Maybe barbie is a vegetarian.
And then, there was this huge scary pelican who was fishing too.
He was HUGE.
I didn’t want Isaiah to get too close because, I think the pelican could have eaten him.
But sweet Isaiah, he decided to feed him his prize catch, which the pelican swallowed whole.
Later that night…we had jiffy pop, hot cocoa and hot delicious smores by the fire.
Thing of beauty, isnt it? Can’t you almost smell it?
Lily was just plain giddy. She was staying up WAAY past her bedtime…
eating all KINDS of snacks she never had!
Isaiah loves smores!
The next day we had breakfast at Ruby’s on the pier and watched the pros catch fish after fish.
Then we did some crafts and played games at the kids club, went swimming,
tried out the sauna, and ended our day with a sushi dinner at Harney’s.
This is the view from the Sky Lounge of the Wyndham at the top floor. Watching the sunsets from up there were awesome, but I never got a picture! Next year! We had lots of fun just 5 minutes from home!
