Yesterday we went to South Beach in the morning, the water was crystal clear and the perfect temperature. There were now waves, just half foot swells, which was perfect for just enjoying the water and spending time together. I am starting to wonder if there are any good surf spots around here. From the waves we have seen so far Va Beach has great surf.
After getting a slight sunburn we headed to the SPCA Wildlife Care Center where my cousin Rusty works. It is quite the operation, they take in everything from owls and hawks, to raccoons and opossums and even rabbits and hamsters. We saw one of the people hand feeding baby birds in an incubator. They have baby opossums, raccoons and squirrels, that they nurse until they will hopefully be able to release back into the wild. We met their release coordinator who was boxing up some opossums to release that night. They had a couple owls that were really amazing to see. While we were there I got a coconut for Jessica, she wants to see what fresh coconut is like.
On our way back to the Hotel we stopped for dinner at Grumpy Gators, a neat local place. We had fried alligator strips for our appetizer, it was good and a little chewy. We were so worn out from the beach we called it an early night.
So far today we have had breakfast and are waiting for my cousin to get here to show us around then we are going to head out to the southernmost winery in the US. We will let you know what we think.
