We’ve made the summer trek to Destin every year for a few years in a row, but my new job put a wrinkle in those plans this year. Now that we’ve been there for Fall Break, that is my new favorite time of year to go! The weather was absolutely perfect, the water was a clear turquoise, and no one got a wicked sunburn.
When we arrived, Andrew and I made a few trips back and forth to the car, and in that very few minutes, Baby Girl located her swimsuit, changed, and started the demanding to swim rightthisveryminuteplease.
We didn’t do much. That nothing was the best part. We grilled out, swam what seemed like at least 3-4 times a day, and just generally sat around and enjoyed having zero access to the internet. This was a good thing for both of us, I assure you. We visited Andrew’s two “must-go” restaurants (Pompano Joe’s and McGuire’s), and we ate all the rest of our meals at the house in peace and (relative) quiet. I love a good restaurant meal, believe me, but this plan was just right this time around. Baby Girl’s allergy-induced cough got even worse in FL, but we managed anyway.
I really, really need to live closer to an ocean. Need.
And last but not least, I also got to finally meet Gileah and her three lovely kiddos. Chris and Andrew are old friends, but Gileah has been having a baby pretty much every time I’ve tried to see her on my FL visits! Her girls went wild with my girl, and now SHE wants to live closer to the ocean, too. Good girl!
gorgeous pictures, Vanessa! Looks like it was wonderful. not jealous, at all!
