Day 2 was Monday, June 14.
We started the day by eating a small breakfast at the condo. Then we went to a "90-minute" time share presentation to get free Ripley's aquarium tickets and $50 "cash." That turned into an almost-three-hour session that ended in us deciding not to buy a time share, three tickets to Ripley's aquarium, and a $50 check. GRRRR! Eli did really well considering that he's only two, but we all have our limits. He was so excited when we finally left, so as soon as we got back to the condo and ate a light lunch I took him to the beach to play. I told him when we left the condo, "Make sure you tell Mommy when you're ready for your nap. I can't take you to the beach if you're going to be fussy and cranky. Okay?"
We played for about an hour and a half. We built sand castles, filled the buckets with water and dumped them out over and over, played in the waves, and floated in the lazy river. Then around 2:00 Eli said, "Okay, Mommy. I think it's time for my nap nap now." So we came inside, I showered all the sand off him, and put him to bed. Life is good.
Jason had stayed inside due to some sunburned shoulders he had acquired on Sunday. :)
After nap time we went back out to the beach for about an hour. Then it was showers for everyone. Since we (aka, I) had forgotten our phone charger at home and both our phones were rapidly losing battery power, we stopped at a Verizon store for a new charger. Jason wanted some new plain white Polo t-shirts so we stopped at the Tanger outlet center. The checkout girl told us about a good seafood place on the beach; however, it was almost 8:00 already, so we went to the Japanese steak house across the street from the outlet mall. Ichiro's was the name, I think. It was pretty good.
Then a quick stop at Food Lion for some aloe gel for Jason's shoulders and we went "home" to the condo for bed. Good night!
