For supper we ate at the Giant Crab. It is a 170 item sea food buffet, in a building with a giant crab on top. The crab is 36'x25' and weighs 4.5 tons. It is the largest crab in the world (according to them). The food was very good and I overdosed on crab legs.
After supper we headed to Barefoot Landing - an outdoor shopping center surrounding alligator infested ponds - with the entire family to do some shopping. A cute little area. We stayed until 9pm - a time only really noteable as its 1.5hours passed Zekes bedtime, but he was well behaved until we got back to the condo.
On Thursday I abandoned the family and went 30 miles south on an adventure to Huntington Beach State Park to do some hiking (and caching, naturally). The parks centerpiece is a large salt marsh where many birds, crabs, and alligators call home. I went on a 3 mile hike along Sandpiper Trail, and then explored the marshland. Once I finished my hike I wondered if there was any geocaches in the area. Turns out I was standing on an earthcache. I managed to grab 3 caches in the park, and 3 more on the way home.
Huntington Beach State Park is a very nice park and a great place to kill some time and soak in some coastal nature. I highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area and have a half day to kill.
