Destin

We had a great time in Destin a couple of weekends ago with my family. Mom and Dad were so generous to take us and my brother and sister-in-law for a nice long weekend. It was great spending time together and the weather was perfect. We stayed in a Condo at the Sandestin Hilton Resort. Our Condo was on the beach and the pool and grounds were so nice. We went to the beach the first day. EMH liked playing in the sand and the ocean. AEH liked it until she scratched her leg and the salt water bothered it. We went to the pool that afternoon and then we couldn't get her to go back to the beach the rest of the trip. She loves swimming so much and this was the first time this summer that she had been in a pool. She made a friend each day and it was always hard to get her to go in, in the afternoon.
We ate out each night and then on Monday morning we had our favorite breakfast buffet at the Hilton Hotel. It was so good and something that we all look forward to when we are in Destin.

Our morning on the beach!

Pool Time




AEH and her friends she met! She really liked the 11 year old boy on the right in this picture. She saw him a couple of the days and made SURE to get his attention. :) Mom and Dad are entertaining EMH in the background.

Dad and I got to play in a round robin one morning. It was so hot but we got some fun tennis in.

Eating out! We ate at Pompano Joe's, Acme Oyster House and Louisiana Lagniappe.


SLH dared me to eat a raw oyster (with no cracker, sauce or anything) and told me that if I ate it that he would give me 100 dollars to spend at the outlet mall. I do NOT like oysters but for the extra money to go shopping, I would definitely give it a try. It almost didn't go down and there was a little bit of gagging involved but I DID it! Yea, for my new coach purse! :)
Look at poor EMH. He feels so sorry for his mommy.


The highlight of the trip for EMH, the bus ride from our breakfast on Monday morning. We walked to the Hotel from our Condo on the way to breakfast but we decided that after we stuffed ourselves that we couldn't walk back, most likely carrying two children, so we took the bus. EMH loved it! He talked about it for a long time afterwards and just sat in awe during the ride.

Waving bye to the bus.

Of course, I couldn't be 10 minutes from an outlet mall and not go to it, so mom and I went one afternoon and shopped a little bit. We got some REALLY GOOD DEALS! :)
Juju bought AEH a new "two paste" (as AEH calls it). She had been talking about wanting one. She modeled it for us one morning.

AEH loved hanging out with Aunt Suzi. Aunt Suzi fixed her hair every night and even put some makeup on her one night. AEH loved it!

Thanks mom and dad for another GREAT trip!

We had a great time!
