Sorry this post is being done so late. It was quite the eventful week.
Last Friday at 2 am, the family packed up and we drove to Destin, Florida.
It. Was. Beautiful!!!!
We left home with snow coming down, and arrived in Florida at dinner time with temps in the mid-70’s.
The weekend was spent at a family member’s house. It was a great visit! We haven’t seen them since Thanksgiving, so it was nice to talk with them face to face again. We went on a walk around their neighborhood, had a bonfire, hung out by their pool, and celebrated Luke’s 43rd birthday!!! It was a nice, relaxing weekend.
Sunday afternoon we left their house to head to the Hilton Sandestin Resort, where Luke had a business conference. It was absolutely amazing! The beach was white powder sand, the water was crystal clear…it was perfect! Naturally, while Luke was doing his work thing, the kids and I had fun!!! We played in the pool, sat in the hot tub, walked the beach, tried some interesting restaurants, and just enjoyed the much needed break and down time.
One of the highlights of the trip happened on Tuesday evening. Ella and I wanted to go take a nighttime walk along the beach to see if the storm brought anything to shore. As we were walking, we were taken aback, and concerned that someone had lost a silicon breast implant on the beach!!! As we walked a little further, we kept finding more and more of them…..JELLYFISH! They were so cool!! Ella even touched one and said it was kinda sticky LOL We also found a shark tooth on our walk, which was pretty awesome. The most comical part was that the boardwalks going down to the beach lock at a certain time, and you need your room key to open the gate. Not thinking anything of it, I gave my room key to Luke to head back to the room while Ella and I went on our walk……we got locked outside the gate! Apparently, we weren’t the only ones, and we followed suit and we had to climb over the gate to get back into our resort LOL There is always an adventure! HAHAHA
The extent of anything “homestead” that we did was watch the maintenance crew do some gardening. Watching them only made me wish that the weather would get warm and stay warm, here in Ohio, so I can plant as well. But, I’m still waiting.
I hope you enjoy a couple of the pics we took on vacation.
