June 13th – Honeymoon Island, Caladesi Island State Park and to top it off... Parasailing!!!
Since this trip is in celebration of not only our 1 year anniversary but it’s also our honeymoon, we decided to drive up the coast to Honeymoon Island. We climbed aboard the ferry to Caladesi Island. This, by far, is the best shelling beach yet. We got lots of cool shells for the kids and had a great time walking up and down the 4 miles of beach and there wasn’t many people there so that made the experience much better. The excitement came while shelling, of course. I was walking along in the water doing the “Sting Ray Shuffle” when I about sliced my foot on something. I reached down and pulled on what felt like a stick. I kept pulling and it kept coming. Soon, this giant Conch shell came out of the sand. It FREAKED me out! I finally grabbed a hold of it and brought it to shore to show Ray. It was the biggest shell and living BLOB I’ve ever and probably ever will see. We decided that we'd name thing one and thing two after Spongebobs pets. Big Gary and Little Gary. I sure do miss Gary!!!

I almost forgot to mention the lizard, Froyo. Watch the video to see the little friend he caught.
Later in the afternoon we decided to take off from the shore and hit the skies. We took a ride on a boat out to the gulf. We were strapped in and with the roar of the engine we were lifted off the deck of the boat. Higher and higher we went, 800 feet in the air we sailed. I was so scared but excited at the same time. The view was incredible. It was so peaceful. If you’ve ever been in a hot air balloon before, it was similar to that but much BETTER!
For dinner, we went back to Crabby Bills. Did I mention I really like Crabby Bills? This time I got Dungeness Crab and OMG it was fabulous. The last time I had it was when I was in Washington State to visit my brother. We had a crab eating contest with my Step Dad. Needless to say, I lost, but they were mighty tasty then and they were mighty tasty this time too.
