Day 5

I found a Lenscrafters in Mary Esther, FL where Brad got an eye exam and new glasses. Thank goodness for on-site labs and 'glasses in about an hour'.
There was a red flag on the beach today. Not sure why - but there sure was a LOT of seaweed. It was very green. Not pretty! Anyway - we took it easy that afternoon and the boys swam in the pool.
We went back later to pick up the glasses and then we ate dinner at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. We then went to check out the Harborwalk and the Emerald Grande. The Emerald Grande is a big, fancy condo building right on the harbor. The Harborwalk is right below it and has several shops and restaurants - as well as boat slips. You can take dolphin cruises from here or rent waverunners or go parasailing. We just looked around and then came back the condo.
We all went for an evening swim in the pool - which was very relaxing. It was a hot and steamy evening - so the water felt great!
At about 10:00pm Alec and I decided we wanted to go the beach - but our one and only flashlight was dead. So the 4 of us made a trip to Wal-Mart. We always seem to end up at Wally world at 10 at night on our vacations. Anyway - we joked that our flashlights cost $34 because of all the other stuff we bought. But we finally got down to the beach with our flashlights at 11pm. It was a nice night for a stroll. We didn't stay out very long though because by then we were pretty tired. That was about it for day 5.
