Fort Walton Beach ~ Day 4

On Day 4 of our Vacation we got up and went out to breakfast at one of our kids favorite places ~ IHOP. After breakfast we headed to Destin it is about 10 minutes from where we were so not a long drive at all. We decided to take this wonderful Dolphin Cruise on the the Southern Star. I would recommend this cruise everyone was so nice. They were obviously Christian's who ran the boat they had a cross flag on the front and played christian music.

So beautiful!



The kids fed the birds chips



The kids and I watching Dolphins



The beautiful dolphins this is a picture of them in the bay where the water is more shallow and an emerald color



Here is a picture of them out in the Gulf where the water is much more deep and blue



This is about the time I started feeling sick. . .However I stayed on the front of the boat and even though I did not get any pictures of video Caylea and I watched as three dolphins swam along side the boat literally 6 inches from the boat we were looking right straight down and they were right there. It was so great! I wish I had gotten pictures. I just couldn't though ~ instead after a double dose of anti nausea med's and some stuff the captain had me use I spent a lot of time in the bathroom and was so ready to get off of that boat!

The first hour was so worth it and next time we go I will be getting either a prescription medication or we will be taking a one hour cruise (or maybe one that just stays in the bay in the calmer water ~ I can't imagine actually being out in the ocean)

That morning we had called a place that did dolphin excursions and they had wave runners. How cool that would be! I knew it would be too much for the kids though and we didn't have a sitter however I defiantly want to do that one day. . .I also want to parasail!

Caylea is now in love with dolphins and wants to be a dolphin trainer or a captain on a boat when she grows up.
