Destin 2014 - Travel Day

A week ago, we just got back from an awesome beach vacation in Destin. We actually stayed east of Destin on 30a at the Adagio in Blue Mountain Beach. It was wonderful and away from all the hustle and bustle of Destin. Our favorite restaurants are off 30A so we only went into Destin once to eat. We went with my entire family. With my parents and both my sisters and their families we had a total of 12 people and had the best time together. Most all stayed the whole week but we had to come back early because I didn't have enough vacation time to use for work. It was awful leaving them a few days early but we had a great time while we were together and made great memories.

Friday after work, Doug, Will and I headed to Prattville, AL to make the trip half way. We like Prattville and its a good half way stopping point. Since Will's a little older and more active we really didn't know what he would do on a 6-7 hour trip so we decided to drive half way and plus if we got to Destin early we planned on shopping and get that out of the way. So we landed in Prattville about 8pm Friday night and had a great time. Will played with the telephone and the remote in the room and he was happy.

Saturday morning we got up and hit the road to Destin. Will watched Mickey and Jake the Neverland Pirates on the Ipad the whole way there then passed out when we got about 30 minutes outside Destin which was great because Doug dropped me off and I went shopping and they stayed in the car and slept. 

At about 3pm we headed to the condo to see if it was ready and to meet Mary and John there to start unloading the car.

After everyone arrived and we unpacked we went to dinner at the Local Catch on 30A which was just up the street. We were all tired from driving all day and decided for a more relaxed dinner. It was great food and good atmosphere. At Local Catch, Mary announced that she and John were pregnant with their FIRST child due in January 2015. Least to say, we were extremely happy and thrilled for them. Then the girls and dad of course went to the grocery store and the others went back to swim or just simply crash.
