Our little family was able to enjoy the oil lined beaches of Destin, Florida this past week with our friends, the Ewaskos and little Bandermanns. Just kidding about the oil lined beaches, it was BEAUTIFUL (contrary to a lot of the reports I received before going)! We had an eventful, yet relaxing stay at the Seascape Resort and ate enough crab legs to flounder an army!
Ansley was a little out of her element there...the 12 hour trip in the new car seat was a little aggravating (she couldn't quite recline) and she suddenly decided she
didn't want to eat the food I brought for her. She also realized that sand didn't taste good or feel good in the eyes either :)! We definitely learned that taking a one year old on a beach trip would not be the smartest idea next time! Oh well, you live and learn! No matter what, she's still a joy, even when she's fussy (I'm not sure our friends would say the same-ha)!
Our days were mostly spent relaxing by the pool, sun-bathing at the beach, golfing (Whit and the boys played), lounging in our condo, eating at some great seafood restaurants, taking an adventure at a small village called Baytown Wharf (Whit and I), and antique shopping. It was all-in-all a great trip! We had a fun time with Ansley at the pool once she got used to the water, seeing Alex and Ansley cuddle was so sweet, and spending time with friends that we absolutely LOVE was a blast! Here are some pictures from our trip.
We all did the balcony pictures when we got there :)
We had a gorgeous view of the turquoise water!
Ansley ready for the pool
She looked like our little boxer
She had fun playing in the sand....
Until it looked good enough to eat!
Next morning...Ansley and Alex watched some toons.
Ansley's bedhead cracks me up!

Of course, she loved running around the pool!
Love this one!

Dinner at Hog's Breath. I know...sounds appetizing.
Alex wanted all kinds of kisses from Ansley!
Ansley loved the beach in the evening!
She loved the wind blowing in her face and the water rolling up to her toes!
Precious little footprints
Ok...really goofy picture!

Yay! Destin was so fun!
Can't wait to get back!
