The rest of Thursday...
I'm finally getting back to posting. After we returned from the park we decided to go for a swim. It wasn't really swimming weather, but the pool is heated. Still, putting our toes in the water was a little too much and we decided to get very warm in the jacuzzi first. After that the pool was great and we got good workouts.
Now we were hungry, but we decided to be a little bit economical and go for fast food instead of a nice restaurant. We'd seen a Panera Bread somewhere along the main drag so we started out. We are about 15 miles from the beach and we never did find the Panera. The closer we got to the beach, the more we realized we'd have to turn around and begin the search over. Chuck began suggested trying a local mom-and-pop seafood place on the beach since we would already be there anyway.
That was the best idea ever. We tried Crabby Bill's, and it was terrific. They had fresh crab claws, and they taught us how to eat them. I had blackened tilapia. It was so good. The place was in this old blue low metal building. It looked like an old meeting hall with a large bar moved into the front half. The back half was filled with long tables that would seat 20. It looked like a place you might rent to have a dinner, if you weren't too picky about how it looked. People were seated at the long tables right next to each other. There were a couple of booths at the back, and we were seated at one of those.
The waitress was fun and very helpful. The menu had dumb little sayings inserted all over it, like "Don't worry, be crabby." and "I woke up crabby this morning, but she didn't want to get up."
We got back to the hotel, where they have a plate of cookies out every night, and decided to watch Nanny Diaries, which was OK but not great.
