Pirate Cruise

Last night we went on a three hour "Pirate Cruise", well not really, it was basically just a sailboat, but the boys thought we were pirates. Actually, we have seen pirate looking boats and thought that is what we were going to do, but didn't turn out that way. Regardless, we had a lot of fun. In hind sight though, we will remember a few things. Two hours would be plenty. Tape Chrissi's hat to her head. And be prepared because Ian is going to throw up!!!

While we were looking for the boat we asked two guys where we would find it at. They were actually shooting a "come to Destin" type show/documentary/infromercial. We still aren't quite sure what it is, but nonetheless they wanted to talk to us about our vacation. The boys were so cute, they announced that "you can even go on a pirate ship here". It only lasted about 3 or 4 minutes, tops, but we said where we were from and what we'd been doing since we had arrived. Have NO idea what channel it will be on, but if you see a scared looking family on a dock with two animated little boys and a little girl in a St. Louis Cardinals hat, it's probably us!!!





The boys got to help raise the sails. That was just beyond cool to them, well until they got to drive the boat anyway!





Chrissi with a hat!

What is that red thing in the water? (Click the picture for a better view)

Ohhhhhhhhhh, that's what it is. Chrissi's hat flew off her head in the middle of the ocean. Captain Rex and Tony were insistant that they could get it for us. So they turned the sailboat around and we spent the next 15 minutes or so looking for her hat. I was impressed that it didn't sink. Every few seconds we would see it bob up on a wave which helped.

It did take several tried, but in the end Tony got her hat!!! Anything for the Princess!!



Brennan was first to drive the boat.

While Brennan was driving, Ian and I had moved to the very front of the boat so Ian could stick his head over the side. Poor little guy was SO seasick. (He gets carsick too so we should have known. He did finally get sick.


And felt so much better. Thankfully he did so he could also have a turn driving.

Another AWESOME day in Destin!
