Gulf Shores :: Thursday

Arden was cranky this morning so she and Jarrod stayed in the condo while Stratton and I went to the beach and pool for a couple of hours.



We came back to the condo, had lunch and everybody but me took a nap. Then it was time for what Stratton has been looking forward to all week. . .the dolphin cruise!


The Cold Mil Fleet is such a great dolphin site-seeing cruise! I would definetly recommend it to anyone coming here. We've done it a couple times before and its great. They run two boats at the same time and cruise side by side which makes a huge wave that the dolphins catch a ride on to get from one side of the bay to the other. They jump and play and it's really incredible to watch! Stratton thought it was awesome! He was so excited and talked the whole time. It was worth it just seeing his reaction! Which was a good thing he loved it so much because Arden was fussy and cried just about the whole time. She just didn't have a great day today.

Getting ready to see the dolphins!

It was pretty warm and still really sunny at 4pm so we tried to keep Arden in the shade!

Dolphins! (I'm not zoomed in, they were SO close!)




After the cruise we had dinner at Flippers, which is right there at the marina. Stratton must have been starving because he ate three big pieces of fish and a ton of fries! We got to eat outside again, it's so nice to dine outside without bugs bothering you!
