We went to the Historic District by the waterfront. I was so excited to go there because I wanted to take Olivia to 2 places- #1 the bookstore there and #2 the ice cream shop! Well as soon as we crossed the bridge and turned onto Bay Street, I looked at the book store and was saddened because it wasn't there anymore! I wanted to take Olivia to the children's book area and read her some books. This store was full of unique books, some signed by authors, and lots of Southern authors and books. I was so sad it was gone. We went to a few shops and bought a few things. We went into a children's store- Doodlebugs- and let Olivia out of the stroller and let her play. They had lots of toys and things for her to play with and I bought her a book- "That's not my plane." Since she loves airplanes. We had lunch a Plums and she actually did really good. She ate grilled cheese and some sweet potato fries. Then we went down by the waterfront. We even got to see the swing bridge open! Then we stopped for ice cream since it was soooo hot!
Olivia napped on the way home to the campground and then we stopped at the lighthouse. Then we went to the beach. It was a little overcast but that was pretty nice! I taught Olivia how to look for seashells and she loved it. She picked out some shells for us to take home. Olivia also loved the birds at the beach! We got her in the water a little bit but still a little scared.
We then showered and ate dinner. We did the usual of bath in a bucket, milk, and it took about an hour to get her to bed. She woke up twice...but went right back to sleep.
The funny story of the day was...about the raccoons. The raccoons are quite brave. You need to make sure the coolers are secured and the garbage has no food in it. Well Brendon left the back of my truck open since we go in an out of it quite a bit. At one point he thought he saw a dog running down the road. Then we heard a click- like when our coolers open and close. Well he went to go in the truck and then noticed there was marshmallow everywhere in the front. A sneaky raccoon got in the truck and ate our marshmallows! It was so gross and sticky to clean up! Lesson learned...slose the truck at night!
