I wrote our names in the sand...it's hard to see it though:(
Those girls would not put those books down!
Ashton and Claire's attempt to make a heart with the sun shining through...
We played Bocce Ball!
This is what we looked like going to the beach every day!
My handsome hubby!
There was a naked cowboy!
A lot of people that were fishing caught baby sharks...this one of about 6...
We made LOTS of margaritas while at the beach!
After our first day relaxing on the beach we were craving some good ol' fried seafood. We like The Crab Trap the best out of the "touristy" places to eat at the beach so we got ready and headed there to eat dinner.
One night we cooked in-- we made fish tacos and a great strawberry banana salad along with mexican rice.
We went to Stinky's Fish Camp one night and it was yummy to our tummies! Here is a photo shoot while waiting there:
We played games each night...we introduced everyone to Rummikub and a game called The Game of Things {it was a hi-larious game to say the least}! My mom also started teaching me to smock...I didn't learn a lot yet, but will keep practicing for when I have babies!
I must have been excited to learn!
One of the days we were there we met up with some college friends who live in Destin. We hung out on the beach and rented a paddle board and kayak. I did not attempt paddle boarding because I know it would have been a disaster-- I did, however, kayak in the ocean! It was all fun and games until a big wave flipped us over...that was the end of my kayaking days! After the water sports were over we had lunch at Goatfeathers. It was so nice to visit with old friends.
I'm not sure if you've heard or not, but there's this new movie out that's called Magic Mike-- well, on our last night my sister and Kasey and I hopped in the car and drove to RAVE to see what all the hype was about. We snuck Mickey D's into the theater in our purses for dinner {such rebels}! I really liked the movie...the eye candy was YUMMY and I liked the story as well. Oh yeah, did you know that being 25 allows you to buy rated R movie tickets for younger people?? I didn't until this night; Kasey forgot her ID in the car and since I was 25 I was allowed to buy her ticket...I guess being 25 is good for something!
While we were enjoying watching half naked men dance around on the big screen Britt was visiting with a law school friend. He went night fishing with his friend, Drew, who lives in Ft. Walton. Britt is not a big fisherman, but he had fun nonetheless.
Tuesday we had to pack the car back up and head back north. I was NOT ready to leave the sun and sand behind! Before we got on the road we drove to Seaside to get Ashton and me a new t-shirt. I LOVE driving through all of the small beach towns along 30-A...I get to look and dream and wish of having a cute little beach house (or condo, or cardboard box, or anything on the beach) one day. We stopped for lunch at Sonic and I had the best chili-cheese-tots you could dream of while riding back from the beach! The ride was pleasant and I am actually kind of glad to be back in my own home, in my own bed, in my own routine again.
We only have a couple of days left before Britt goes to Atlanta to work for the rest of the summer...I will join him there after my Math AMSTI training next week.
We will check back later-- j&b
