So many times when we went out to eat, the boys got cookies and/or ice cream from the waitstaff. Which is great and all, but not the usual for our diet. Here is Jack enjoying the last ice cream of our trip at a little cafe in Lake Charles.
Matthew and I rented a couple of scooters. I was really nervous and we drove around the parking lot for a good 20 minutes before hitting the road. Even then, I cruised at about 10-15 mph, so there was quite a line of cars behind us.
Stopped at a cookie shop for a snack. Matt's first slurpee in over a decade. On our way back, I actually drove the speed limit!
After the show, we went to the Naval Aviation Museum. There was an aircraft carrier playground in the children's area that the boys just loved. We did not make it past the kids' area to see any of the planes.
We booked a dolphin cruise on the Southern Star. Saw quite a few dolphins, but those mammals are really fast. So the only photo I got of a dolphin is the tip of a dorsal fin in the top photo. Can you see it?
On to Destin! Of course, the whole four hours wasn't like this. There were lots of snacks, books, and toys. And I'll be needing to get the SUV detailed again when we get home...
Of course, we had to have beignets. We had already been telling Sean and trying to describe the fluffy, deep-fried pillows of dough swimming in powdered sugar. The boys liked them because they've inherited my love of carbs.
