Vacation, Part 3: SHARK!

Yep, that's right, today we saw a shark!! Some guy (a bright one at that) decided to do some shark fishing right off the shore line. We look over to our right about a 100 feet away, and there is this fairly large crowd surrounding the area. This guy's about knee deep reeling something in. We knew it had to be something fairly big, because it was taking him a while. Then we hear everyone yelling "SHARK!" So of course, we had to run over with our camera as well. This guy had caught a good size shark...I would say it was at least 3 feet tall when he stood him up. I'm still not sure what kind...Jarrod thinks a Nurse Shark. But I'm thinking to myself, who cares...it's a flippin' SHARK...HELLO! Yeah, so I'm really never going back into the ocean! I've never seen so many sea creatures when I've been to the beach. I don't think we even saw this many when we went snorkling in Jamaica! We've seen the following:
STARFISH, JELLYFISH, SAND DOLLARS, CRABS, STING RAY, CONCHS (SP?), A SHARK, AND DOLPHINS!!

Anyway...last night we went to the Salty Dog Cafe. It was great...it's a true landmark in Hilton Head, so I'm glad we went...even with an hour and a half wait. They manage to get you to spend a lot of money during that time, too! We all got t-shirts, hats, and koozies! We also went to the Lighthouse, and that's where we saw the dolphins. They were like, right there, so close! I'm telling you we don't have to go to anymore aquariaums, we'll just come back to Hilton Head!

We're sad becase we leave to come home tomorrow. It's been so much fun and we'll hate to have to come back to reality. BUT, when I get home I'll get to post all the fun pictures of all the stuff I've been talking about!
