Destin, Florida - Days 1 & 2

We got up early Saturday morning and joined Steve's Mom (Laurie) and Dad (Mark) and kids (Andy, Shannon and Allison) in the Yukon XL for the 12 hour drive to Destin, Florida. 7 seatbelts and 7 people = oof.

It was a long ride in tight quarters, but we made it here without any problems. The first night we unpacked and went to the beach with Mark, Shannon and Allison. Laurie and Andy missed out on the fun the first night while they went to the Urgent Care. Turns out Andy has MONO! The poor kid feels like crap. The rest of us are stocking up on Vitamin C and just trying to stay away as much as possible. Hooray for Clorox wipes!

Today was fabulous. Steve and I woke up around 0630 and sat on the balcony for our coffee and breakfast. Laurie and I went to the store and bought food for lunch and dinner. When we returned from the store, we all went down to the beach. After finding a few jelly fish in the water, the boys removed them with the lacrosse sticks Steve brought and we headed to the pool.

Swimming, tennis and a trip to Target led up to a fabulous dinner cooked by Laurie. Chicken Parmesan and spaghetti, I am STUFFED! After dinner I helped Alli with her math summer homework and realized I am WAY out of practice. Who has summer homework anyway?!

Tomorrow should be either beach or the armament museum. Maybe both! We'll post as we can and I will try to actually take pictures over the next few days. Love you all!
