9:42 p.m. Fort Wayne, 8:42 Alabama



Ok, I did not burn my armpits, close to the armpits, but not the armpits. I will admit that I did sort of kinda chicken out on the seagulls though. I’m saying this to end this topic. Oh, and the phone number, if you haven’t noticed Dumby put our phone number on the blog ( I have edited this by now, my mom wasn’t very happy) but fortunately she put the wrong phone number-by accident. Yea, she missed a number. Imagine my pride when the brain of my younger sister is shown for all the world to see. Okay, now for the story of our day.
We headed straight for the beach on Perdido Key this morning. Perdido Key is partially in Florida and partially in Alabama. They actually have a section of the island called the Floribama, the Florida/Alabama line. While we were crossing the bridge to the island we saw the most beautiful beach ever. The water was a gorgeous blue green. It was a small peninsula, with one of the sides choppy and wave-ridden, and the other side calmer and clearer. We decided to stop and stay at the beach.
We were hoping to snorkel but we soon found out that the water was to choppy. However, the waves were FANTABULOUS! Seriously huge! We played in them all day. There was a fisherman there too that had caught a 40 lb Pompino. It was about as big as Katty. He had the fish (and another smaller one) in the same cooler as he had his food! I was like, oh nice. He said he’s caught a 90lb Pompino before!
Around 4 we decided to take a walk toward the bridge. We saw dolphins again!!!!!! I was so happy. Unfortunately, there were boats traveling through so I couldn’t go swim with them. It was still cool though. I also saw two crabs and a dead shrimp.
We went to a place called Mikee’s seafood for dinner. I shared the seafood platter with my mom which included fish, shrimp, gumbo ( I love that stuff), hush puppies, fritters, French fries, and oysters. Darby and Tatum decided to be pigs and both order the All You Can Eat Shrimp. They each had three platefuls, Darby had only a little bit to go on her third plate. We had heard that the Peanut Butter Pie here was awesome. We ordered some peanut butter pie and some key lime. The peanut butter pie was melt in your mouth good. Seriously delicious.
Ok, one bad thing about today. I got fried. I am burnt on the back of my legs, my arms, and my face. My “armpit burn” is better. So are my feet. Tatum also looks like a blonde tomato for your information. I need to change my password for the login to the blog. She can say too much sometimes. Oh, and I got stung by a jellyfish today.

SMILES!
