Destin

A few weeks ago my family embarked on a vacation we had been planning for awhile. Ever since we were younger my family has enjoyed traveling to Destin, Florida for beach vacations. We have stayed in condos, houses and high rises. We have stayed up and down the beaches of Destin and Fort Walton but have finally found our favorite spot. Right off of highway 30A in between Seaside and Rosemary Beach. This is a fabulous stretch of beaches and small towns. This is the house we stayed in this year. It was a great house on the beach with our own private pool. It was like we lived there for the week. It was big, but it needed to be, because we had a lot of people!

In attendance for the week were:

The Brand family! Thanks to MeMe and Bobby for orchestrating this great pic!

Jen, Stephen and Dylan.

My mom and dad

and

The Pruett clan!

My Aunt Fran and cousins Christina, Bobby and Jen

Dylan loved the beach! She has no fear, running into the waves, building sandcastles and spending all day in the sand and sun!

Molly...not so much! She was not fond of the beach at all. Here she is touching the sand for the first time, looks okay right. Wrong! Right after she burst into tears and wouldn't go near it or the ocean. We tried on different days, same result. Maybe next time!

She did have fun playing on the patio with Dylan every morning! Trying to not wake the rest of the house at 6 am!

She love, love, loved the pool! She stayed in so long her little feet were all wrinkled! I bought this great float from Buy Buy Baby and it was perfect! I am a sucker for a baby in a sunhat!

We also brought along a blow up baby pool so she could play in the shade. Big hit! The water was nice and cool, which I can't say the same for the pool.

All in all it was a great trip! Vacations are a little different once the kiddos come around but it sure is fun to see their wonder and awe of new places and things!
