On the second day I woke up and my parents and I went for a walk on the beach, when we got back we relaxed in the sun on our patio when from around the corner a huge iguana stuck its head out, it proceeded to walk towards the hot tub. I hustled and grabbed the camera and took some great pictures. The iguana was at least 5 feet long. Then another huge iguana came walking by and I got some pictures of it as well. For dinner we went to a mediocre restaurant and we ate out by the beach, the view was great.

On Wednesday it rained all day which was a huge bummer but we ended up going to the festival flea market which wasn't very special at all. After that we went back to our place and relaxed before going out for dinner. For dinner we went to a great mexican restaurant. After dinner we went back to our place for a couple hours and then my dad and I drove to the airport to pick up my sister Sam who arrived around midnight, I was happy to see her because we hadn't seen each other for a while.
On the fourth day of out trip my sister faced her fear of the ocean and we went swimming, it was loads of fun. we also swam in the pool and later that day and went in the hot tub. It rained in patches throughout the day but whenever it stopped we were outside doing something. That night we went out to restaurant which was right on the water and the staff fed the tarpin fish right next to us, it was very entertaining to watch because the fish were jumping around and the pelicans were trying to eat the fish. I got a very good picture of the pelicans as well.
Friday rained terribly and my dad and I had to put off our fishing trip until later which made me worry because my dad had to leave Florida Sunday night. In the afternoon it cleared up and we got to swim and do other things such as shuffle board and go on the beach. For dinner we went to a great greek place that was simply amazing.
Saturday morning was sunny and beautiful and my dad and I were out the door by 7:30a.m. to go drift fishing. Though I only caught one fish and my dad didn't catch any we still had a great time and met some interesting people. Right when we docked it started pouring! we were very lucky with the timing, On the way back to our place my dad and I picked up some stone crab and brought it back to our suite. We spent most of the day inside and my mom made the stone crab for dinner it was absolutely delicious!
I spent most of Sunday with my sister because my parents went out shopping, we went to the pool which is where we saw a beautiful bright green iguana eating a strawberry that somebody had given it. I got wonderful pictures of it! And later that day we saw five or six other huge iguanas. I also got pictures of other lizards that day which I think are geckos. That night for dinner we went to an elegant restaurant called Cafe Maxx. I had one of the best steaks I have ever had in my life, I ate every single bite and then had a warm moist chocolate souffle cake with ice cream which was the best thing I have ever had in my life. I wish I had brought the camera so I could post a picture of that ting. It was wonderful. My dad left very light that night.
On Monday my mother and sister went shopping and I read on the beach and learned that Iguanas live in holes on the beach which I found very interesting because I was wondering where they went during the rain. When my mom and sister came back home we went the pool, we weren't allowed to go into the ocean because of the rip tides. That night we went to the cheese cake factory and I had the biggest burger I have ever managed in my life. We then went straight to the dog races which was tons of fun. I lost a few races and then I won two in a row and came out with more money than I had started with, I won a whopping $2.00. I had a great time.
On our last full day we went in the ocean even though we were instructed not too by the warning signs, we had a lot of fun! That night for dinner we had stone crab again which was just as wonderful as the last time.
On Wednesday we packed up, spent our last couple hours on the beach and in the hot tub, and then we left for the airport. our flight was half an hour late, and then we flew back home. Our dog was super excited to see us, it was really funny.
And that is what I did over my March break.
