April 14th - Beach day. We got up ready for a day at the beach, the weather wasn't looking too good. I turned on the weather channel and it was calling for heavy storms from Tampa on up; we were south of Tampa so we decided to head to the beach hoping the weather would clear. It was raining when we arrived, but we decided to wait it out. Finally it cleared a little and we hit the beach. We purchased boogie boards for the kids, they were dying to try them out. I was surprised at how well my DS did boogie boarding, he jumped right on and rode the waves in with no problem; I told him he was a natural. We got lucky and had about one good hour at the beach before we decided it was time to head back because the weather was looking worse. We packed up and headed to the snack shelter for lunch. As we were eating the rain started. We got home just in time for the big storm to hit...this would be the only day of our entire trip that we would have rain...and boy did it rain.
