Palm Beach, FL

Yesterday we rode on the boat for 9 hours on the intercoastal waterway.  The kids had a great day wearing pajamas all day and playing their DS. We saw plenty of dolphin again- I love those animals! I read a book the whole way- poor Tom was the only one working!!

Today,  when we left the Marina, Tom and I saw a manatee!! How fun!! Then, we rode the boat on the intercoastal for a while and were eventually able to get out into the Atlantic Ocean.  My husband was so excited!! He was like a young bull being let out of the pen for the first time!! So, I DID work today and make myself productive- I gave the boat and the kids a thorough cleaning!  They all needed it!

When we arrived in Palm Beach, we went to the pool and swam. Afterwards, we had a great dinner at the restaurant at the end of the dock.  The kids trick or treated to one another and had the ultimately important "trade meeting" .  This is where negotiations of the highest order take place. Stand back UN.  They negotiate the trading of candy and it is intense!  I have to do much bargaining for the ever important reeses, jolly rancher and rolo!!
