Favorite Things to do at the Beach

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, thursday I didn't have internet, friday i was out of town on a college tour, and yesterday I went to the movies ( saw Life as We Know It= awesome movie, i highly reccomend it.) and was too tired when I got home. Today i am blogging about my favorite things to do when i go to the beach, which is what i do almost every year for spring break:

1. go boogie boarding - for those of you who don'y know Boogie boarding is basically surfing but laying down. I really enjoy it but the last couple of years we haven't been able to go in the water because of Jelly fish and on a day were the flags say it's ok, I get kind of nervous going in the water.

2. Eating food- There are so many good restaurants near where we stay, first of all there is Pizza By the Sea which is some pretty good pizza, and then in Sandestin theres Poppy's which is family tradition now, and in the town next to where we stay there's queen bee cupcakes which have some of the best cupcakes I have ever tasted! This is the pier that comes off of the back of Poppy's:

3. Sitting in the condo during rain- Since it is Flordia and we are by a big body of water it does rain at least 2 of the 5 days we are there. One of the things we do to pass the time is watch movies, last year it rained a lot we watched Planet 51, Astro Boy and Bandslam, also we watched numerous episodes of Psych! We also cook our own meals. Another thing we do to pass the time is play board games. It's hardly boring even if it is raining outside, and the ocean when it is raining is still really pretty.

4. Collecting Seashells- My family has a large collection of seashells at our house from probably the past 5 years we've been going to the beach. You have to get up really early to get the full good looking shells, so a lot of the ones we have are all fragmented. Also in our collection we have a lot of pieces of sandollars. I normally don't collect the pieces unless they are pretty looking.

5.Going shopping- There are a lot of strip malls in Florida. There's also Seaside which has a lot of separate non brand named restaurants, and shops. One of my favorite places to go shopping is the Shops at Sandestin even though it's kind of expensive there is a candy store that is amazing and delicious. One place that I used to love to shop that i don't think exist anymore was a soap shop and it was one of those places that had the really decorative soaps, and I'm pretty sad it doesn't exist anymore.

6. Reading a Book on the beach - Pretty self explanatory, you get a good book (preferably not about sharks unless you like reading about them) you pull up a chair at the edge of the water and relax!
