I was a little nervous about the arrival of a category 2 hurricane on our shore, but the Davis family assured me that one can ride out a category 2 easily. No one was leaving, and we were ready to enjoy a relaxing day hanging in the condo. We woke up late, ate some delicious biscuits and gravy, and spent the day watching movies, playing games, doing some fun arts and crafts, and watching the wind blow outside.
Ian and I went out on the beach for one quick moment. The waves were higher than I've ever seen them, and you could tell by looking at the beach that at some point during the day they had been all the way up to the sand dunes. Ian and I walked for a little while, but we were quickly turned back by the wind shooting little pellets of sand into our legs.
At one point the boys went out on a wet, hectic drive to get some fireworks for the fourth of July. The boys, Gramps included had a great time picking out lots of firepower. Boys, boys, boys.
Our day with Hurricane Arthur was actually a nice relaxing day. I had never been at the beach during a hurricane so it was interesting to watch out the window when we knew it was safe. Plus, we all rested up and ready for a sunny July 4th coming the next day!
