Destin Beach Vacation - Part 1

Last week we loaded up the car and headed south - to Destin, Florida! This was our first family vacation of just the four of us. Usually, we travel with family, which we love, but we wanted to do something just the four of us. With Lance starting Kindergarten in the fall, we wanted to soak up some quality family time!

The boys did great in the car - we were a little concerned that with a 5 year old and 2 year old, that the long drive could have been even longer - but they did great! Thank goodness for DVD players!

Here we are all loaded up and getting ready to hit the road - we had to get a picture of all of us bright and early in the morning (notice no make-up).

Once we made it to Destin, we unloaded the car and hit the beach! The first couple of days that we were there, the water was very rough. There were actually people surfing the waves - I have never seen people surfing in Florida. You can tell from the picture below that the water was pretty rough and the waves were pretty big.

One of Grayson's favorite activities was to enjoy a snack under the umbrella on the beach. I think the water automatically makes the boys hungery, seriously, their appetite increased enormously while we were there.

My cute little beach bums!

This wagon was a life saver - Matt thought I was nuts for wanting to haul our red wagon all the way to Florida, but it was well worth it! It hauled all our stuff - beach toys, cooler, boogie boards and kids!

Will update more soon!
