Michelle & Tony Trip: Day 4: Boat, Beach, Jets, & the Game

Tony and I enjoyed sleeping in this day.  We didn't have to be anywhere super early and it was so nice to take our time.  After eating breakfast we still had an hour before we needed to be at Wendy's so we went and walked around Sam's Club (because we are that cool).
After shopping we went to Wendy's where Gabe was all ready to take us out boating.  Gabe and Wendy took us to Virginia Beach to see if we could find some dolphins and to watch the jets from the air show that was going on that weekend.
The weather was perfect again.  They have such a nice boat and we loved riding in it.  It didn't take too long for Gabe to spot some dolphins.  Then we spotted more and more.  Gabe followed a family of dolphins and we ended up seeing six or more all around our boat swimming around.  Wendy said it was the most dolphins she's ever seen at once.  It was super cool to see.
After the dolphins scattered we decided to stop and get some lunch.  Gabe docked the boat and we walked like a block away to a yummy restaurant right on the beach front.  After eating we walked on the beach and let Benje play for a little while.  The sand was nice and the water wasn't too cold.
Lots of people were on the beach enjoyed the nice weather.  After Benje played for a while we walked back on the boardwalk and then went into a cute beach shop where I found some cute shirts for the kids.
Then it was back to the boat.  Gabe found us a sweet spot to anchor the boat so we could watch the Blue something Jets.  I put my feet in the water and then sat in the boat waiting for the jets.  They did not disappoint.  Their were four of them that flew right by us multiple times doing different formations and rotations.  It was really good and the perfect setting being on a boat in the water.
Once they appeared to be done we decided to be done boating for the day.  We went back to Wendy and Gabe's house.  Tony helped Gabe clean off the boat while I hung out with Wendy who was washing her dogs.
After all that fun Tony and I decided to go back to our hotel and see if we could get the BYU game.  Our hotel did not have the channel it was on but Tony was able to get it on the tablet and so we watched the first half from that.
We went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.  They have a million TV screens for watching games so we thought maybe they would have the game.  They didn't have ESPN 3 but they did have BYU TV so that worked for us.  We were able to watch most of the second half at the restaurant.
After we were done eating we went back to the hotel to watch the rest of the game.  It was fun to be able to watch the game and try a new restaurant.
