Today was a wonderful day filled with a ton of laughter and sunshine. That may sound cheesy but that's kind of what it was, albeit a rocky start with more Hotel drama. The good stuff goes as follows though. We awoke and had a wonderful breakfast of bagels, queso fresco, and guava paste with Ben and Jessie before saying goodbye to them and packing up the car for Jupiter Beach. This beach is the last remaining free dog beach in South Florida. Seriously, Miami politics have engulfed the rest of Florida and made for some really awful laws regarding public spaces. Most of the laws revolve around what you can do on the beautiful beaches of Florida and yet at Jupiter which has the least restrictions we've seen, was by far the nicest regarding people, trash, and water. Everyone there was amazingly friendly and happy to let their dogs play off leash with each other and were just happy that the pups were able to run free and play along the beach.
When arriving at the beach, we saw many surfers and immediately decided
that it wouldn't be Florida without a surf day so Jax and I headed to a
nearby surf shop to rent a board for the day. We ended up getting a 9
foot long board which was pretty perfect for all of us to play in the
waves with. While the human parts of our party took turns surfing, Hank
spent the entire day running and jumping with all the other dogs on the
beach. As of right now he is still sleeping like he has been since we
left the beach.
Back to the surfing. We all spent a good deal of time on the board today but Jena and Jaxon really did quite well out there riding waves all the way in. We also got to talking with one guy at the beach who was paddle boarding and generously let us try his board, which was incredibly difficult but fun. As the sun set we packed up and headed back down the coast to our condo for some leftover fajita's and ice cream. Tomorrow we plan to head back to Juniper Beach and do it all over again.
