Beach Trip to Destin

In early September we took our first family beach trip with Matthew's family at Destin.  Matthew's great Uncle Joe and Aunt Mary Jane were kind enough to allow us to stay in their amazing beach house located at Miramar Beach, just down the way a bit from Destin.

In true lazy beach fashion, we mainly lounged by the beach house pool, at the beach, and mostly ate from home.  We checked out a couple of great restaurants as well, and Matthew and I even got to see friends of ours from Memphis who were there at the same time.  We also did some outlet shopping and exploring more of the beaches by bike ride.

William really enjoyed the sand and the pool, but he was still timid about the big ocean and the waves.  He also liked feeding the seagulls, pool time with grandmama and grandaddy and splashes from Aunt Becky.

Family shot. I hope I can wear a two piece when I have grandchildren.  Doubtful.  But one can hope.

Sisters shot!  Becky got to hang out for a couple of days before starting her new job.

Don't think William got his pigmentation from his grandmother!

Wanting to build some serious castles but this 16 mo old just wants to dump and explore for now.  Maybe later!

Capturing that precious baby face while I still can

Surprised by friends being in town!

We love the Sawyer families.  William was pretty tired here :)

No I did not steal a stock photo from MTV cribs.  This is where we got to stay!

More seagull time

They were vicious

Carla's cousin Jan lives not far from where we were, so she and her son and granddaughter stopped by

Loving getting things out of the pool trap each day
