We made the trip to Destin for a week at the beach with the Caddells. I'd been looking forward to it because I love Gulf beaches. Dave was not fond of the idea of travelling so far to get to "basically a lake" - well, just know that my week was made on day 2 when he had to admit that "it was actually pretty perfect"! You can beat the calm, clear water and white sand!
Taylor was with me - she was ready to go!
She's also part crazy.
Best thing about packing for a beach vacation by plane is you don't take much stuff. It was great! We were each able to carry our own stuff!
Getting there...
Closer.
Finally arrived!
Beach perfection!
This was obviously too early for a photo for Taylor!
The twins were reunited. This totally happened by accident. Even the same.brand.of.shorts. Too much.
This picture was taken from my chair by the water. Can't beat a restaurant within arms reach! And more than half the people in this picture were with our beach group. It was a crowd!
Out with the girls.
Andy and Chase ahead of Dave and Taylor, but not for long!
See Megan taking pictures....still waiting for hers! I totally forgot my camera and don't trust myself with my phone near the ocean much so I'm waiting for her official photo album!
Riding Carl the bull.
I made an early morning trek to a place I'd spotted on the way in. It looked super promising. It was a bust. Oh well, always worth a shot!
Putt-putt, of course.
Bonus arcade by putt-putt.
Bigger bonus - people that will play the games and give you their tickets!
Out for a fancy night on the town - right up Taylor's alley!
Kids: "Hey Grandpa, look at this."
Grandpa: "How much?"
Taylor wanted a picture with the parrots and when the guy tried to put one on her head she bailed! Understandably!
Vacation, obviously, will wear you out! This was 9am!
Beach bum.
Beach bum 2.
Megan with the selfie-stick.
Farewell Destin - I think Dave liked you enough that I might be able to get him back there soon!
Headed home!
