day 90 - "...when the sun goes down..."

".... a palm island moon arise on a night in paradise. when the sun goes down in the gulf of mexico"  this is one of our favorite captain red beard tunes.  we find ourselves singing the song all throughout the year in anticipation of seeing our friend the pirate and all of the wonderful sunsets on palm island.

 we first met captain red beard the first year we came to the island.  hanging out with captain red beard is one of the many highlights of our trip each year.  our friendly pirate has a show every friday night and then hosts crafts a couple of days during the week.  the kids are already highly anticipating this sunday for craft day!  although the kids were a bit more unwilling to go forward and scream the songs from the tops of their lungs as in years past it was fun, none the less, to catch them singing along to the songs we all know so well.

in the spirit of the song i thought i would post one of the beautiful sunsets we experienced the other night.  beautiful!
