We checked the internet, the weather channel, and called the water park this morning. All agreed: 90% chance of rain.
Despite the warnings of a tropical storm headed our way, we decided to hop in the car and drive down to the water … and over to the water park. We have been itching to get to Big Kahunas for weeks, and soon they’ll be closed!
The day turned out perfect: We arrived at the park around 11, hit the lazy river immediately. The thick layer of grey clouds parted, and the sun broke through brightly. Lil Lady hit the slides, I hit the lounger with my book and determination that the back of my legs should NOT be ghost-white while the rest of me had some semblance of peach coloring happening.
I read, Lil Lady checked in every so often and hit the slides the rest of the time. Bossbro did the lazy river with us, grabbed his book, and hit the shade for a bit.
Just as I began thinking about being thirsty, a huge clap of thunder caused me to look at Bossbro - and he to look at me. “I think that’s our cue,” he said. I expressed the hope that Lil Lady would check in soon … and suddenly there she was in the lazy river calling out, “Hi Mom!”
We packed up, got to the car, and drove out of Destin just as the rain started falling. We stopped for subs for lunch, then headed home. Luckily, the rain waited until after we were safely tucked into BFF’s house before it started falling. It even broke long enough for us to come home later in the evening, rain-free.
Life is good. Tonight the TS should hit properly. I hope we get plenty of rain and minimal damage.
