We are home and getting settled back in, catching up on laundry and life. I wanted to take a minute to upload some pictures on my blog. Our trip was 5 days in October in Destin. They say it is on of the best months to visit Destin. I have to agree! No crowds, water is cool but not freezing, low 80's and great deals to be had.
We loved our condo, had no rain and had a lot of family time together. That was the purpose of the trip. We know that with a baby joining us soon our family will never be the 4 of us and wanted to savor things a bit. Andrew is growing up and with a job, sports and life here getting away is harder for him too.
We tried to make our trip special by allowing everyone to have say in what we did and how we spent our time. Andrew still enjoyed his nightly talks with his friend, Jacob requested a walk on the beach at night, we found a Honeybaked Ham store and enjoyed that for dinner many a nights! We also found the best donut shop ever and stopped by there a couple of mornings. One of their favorite things was going boarding with Trae when the waves were really big. We all enjoyed having some downtime and connecting with one another.
We have always found that the ocean is breath taking to visit but also can really wear you out. We turned in pretty early each night. Some of my favorite times were enjoying reading out on our balcony in the morning and long talks with my hubby in the evening while listening to the waves. Tis sweet!!!! We ever escaped one evening to enjoy our favorite restaurant that we found when we honeymooned there 3 years ago.

What fun you all had! Such a special family vacation. Glad you all had fun time. Great pics!
Those are so relaxing and fun to look at! I really like the ones of the boys together and the one of them right by the waves coming up is so sweet. I see some black and whites in a frame!
If any family deserves such a treasured time, it is yours! The cool part is that you know a great spot to vacation at this time of year and you are perfecting your visits. Now... about that donut shop....
