Shark's Teeth and More Dock Lounging

Tuesday of our vacation was pretty low key. We went down to the Sands of Port Royal to look for shark's teeth. We went down during low tide because that is the best time to find them or just as the tide is coming back in. After that, we stopped and picked up some fresh shrimp for Frogmore Stew, which we didn't end up making until the next night because we wanted our friend, Chris to join us for dinner. So, more on Frogmore Stew in my next post! The place where we bought the shrimp just happened to be right next to Alvin Ord's sandwich shop. I hadn't had Alvin Ord's since we lived down there, so it had been at least 14 years! So, we couldn't resist and it was every bit as good as I remembered! Next, we swung by Steve's mom and dad's and visited with them for awhile. We ended up bringing my niece, Makaylia back with us to the cottage to hang out for awhile. Makaylia had been staying with Steve's mom and dad for awhile and was going to be leaving to go back to California on Friday. The remainder of the day was spend on the dock. There was a great breeze and a gorgeous sunset. We stayed down there until the storm ran us back to the house. And it was one heck of a storm! Yikes!

Bry and I- the wind and humidity was really cruel to us curly hair girls!

I snuck a pic of Jordan!

There are a lot of oyster shells here, so walking in the water with no shoes on isn't even an option! Those suckers will cut you right open!

Here are a few of the teeth that they found. I didn't get a total count because everyone had their own bottles and they sure weren't going to let us mix them together for a pic!
