Ahoy!

Yesterday, Sunday, Cheri and I had a "date" day.

First, we kinda loafed around, not doing to much of anything in the morning, just relaxing. I did do one load of laundry. Around 1:30pm we headed to the Cobb movie theater for the 2:15 show for Knight & Day, the Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz movie. We both liked it. Yes, it is predictable, and most of the best scenes are in the trailer (advertising), but it is an entertaining fun film. 

After we got out of the movie, we went to Dairy Queen for dinner. I had a medium Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard and Cheri had a large chocolate dipped cone in a cup. We shared a lemon-lime head-freezy thingy for a drink.

Then we went to the beach to checkout the oil and tar balls. It is pretty bad right now.

Here are a few photos we took yesterday.

The first two photos are (obviously) of the Hangout right on the beach at the end of highway 59.

The next three photos are the oil and tar on the beach. If you look very carefully at the waves you can see the oil in the water. The water has orange areas in it. The last two photos are the tar balls on the beach. All the dark brown spots are tar balls. Most are very tiny, pea sized or less, with several in the quarter to half dollar size, and an occassional big tar ball.
