Success! We found quite a few shark teeth on the beach today. As you can see from the picture, they're black...just like Mr. Grouch said. It's crazy to think that these teeth were around thousands of years ago! A tooth become a fossil when it is buried in sediment (or other material) soon after being lost from a shark's mouth. In general it takes approximately 10,000 years for a tooth to become a true fossil. Last night, we witnessed an awesome storm. The lightning show was a non-stop 3 or 4 hour spectacle. Ryan was like a kid on Christmas morning. He'd run back inside after each lightning strike and ask excitedly if I'd seen it. So cute...
The boys are all doing well. Both of them are so much more comfortable with the beach and the ocean water than they were just a few days ago. It bodes well for us and summer trips to Martinique and/or Clam Harbour beach this year! We were outside for most of the day, trying to take everything in one last time.
We're now starting to think about leaving and heading back home. Sad stuff...but that's the definitive sign of a good vacation. We'll try and pack up tonight, and hit the road tomorrow morning. Our goal will be Fredericksburg, VA, but really, there's no schedule. We'll be home at some point!
