We had the opportunity to spend a few days in Destin, Florida a few weeks back. T had a work related meeting, so Sunshine and I were very glad to tag along. It was so nice to be away for a few days.
We drove across Louisiana and the very southern parts of Mississippi and Alabama before we got to Florida. Most people think we are crazy, but we prefer to drive. A few things we learned about the Deep South are 1) There are a lot Waffle House Resturants (I was going to count them on the way home, but I forgot to start counting at the beginning.), 2) If you want to make decent time stay on the Interstate - coastal highways have LOTS of stop lights. and 3) They wack their crepe myrtles to the ground. (We call it "crepe murder" in BCS, but I think they can actually get away with it.)
Our favorite part of the trip was the time we spent at the beach. We went on a Sunday morning, so we pretty much had the beach to ourselves. It was beautiful and Sunshine LOVED playing in the white sand. It is so fun to watch someone respond to something without holding back their emotions. She just delighted in getting to play in the sand and we took a lot of delight in watching her.
She was to busy playing with the sand to smile for the camera...
how fun!!! I love the pictures. We're excited to take K to the beach soon, too now that she can enjoy it more! She's started to try and crawl as of last week, so when the weather warms up a bit, we'll take her. :) Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Playing with Daddy.
Bliss!
