Fabulous Dolphin Cruise - Dustin and Kirsten were such great hosts on our adventure today. We were able to spot this baby dolphin that was born within the past 24 hours. What a great way to spend the afternoon. We were able to pop over to happy hour on the boardwalk to finish the day off after the cruise. Highly recommend!
