Hamm Family Cruise: Progresso

Our first port of call was Progresso. I hadn't been there before and wasn't sure what to expect, but we had a wonderful day. The kids were pumped to check out the beach and we managed to find a nice spot at a restaurant where we could get food and drinks and watch the kids play in the ocean.

It was funny because right when we got off the boat, it was $40 per person for transportation to an "all you can eat" location by the beach. We decided to take the free bus from the ship into the city and figure it out from there. On the bus, there was an offer for $30 for an "all you can eat" location by the beach. Once we got off the bus in the middle of town, there was an option for $20 for an "all you can eat" location by the beach. We thought about doing that, but then the bus to the "location" was taking so long we decided just to walk to the beach. It was a few blocks away, but we managed to find our own location by the beach that worked out perfectly for us :)

The kids made a new friend, I got a massage while Grant took the kids hutting for shells, and we got a few fun souvenirs including an awesome Captain America cape. This was really the first time that JR was really excited about the beach and the ocean. In the past, he has been a bit nervous, but this time he was fearless and kept going out in the water a bit further than I was comfortable with.
