Just Another Week at the Beach

It's no secret that I LOVE the beach in the fall, and apparently, most people in Bowling Green feel the SAME way. In fact, I think we should petition to rename Destin, Florida, to Bowling Green SOUTH.

Destin was especially unique this year because so many of our friends vacationed there. We all stayed within walking distance of each other and were able to hang out on the beach everyday. WHAT FUN! I usually try to journal daily about our trip highlights:

Saturday~we left BG around 7 a.m. and arrived at the beach around 4 p.m. and us women headed to Walmart for our weekly groceries.

Sunday~hung out on the beach and at the pool ALL DAY and nightcapped at the Destin Commons.

Monday~a repeat of Sunday, add grilled hot dogs for lunch. Spent most of the day sunnin' it up.

~We headed to the Back Porch for dinner.~

~And then went to Baytown Wharf~

Me, Matt, Paul and Shannon went to a late movie and saw The Social Network.

Tuesday~us girlies went to the outlet mall that morning, the guys golfed that afternoon, hung at the beach and ate spaghetti, and played at an awesome church playground.

Wednesday~beached it up (great weather all week long)

~Took Karson to Build a Bear and Coldstone for some girl time and to celebrate her birthday (early), got completely LOST in the Life is Good store and scored lots of great teacher presents for Christmas.~

~family pic night~

~our glamorous gals~

The zoo crew!

Went to Pompano Joes for dinner...

with some of our besties! And finished out the day with a trip to The Track for some miniature golf.

Thursday~took the kids shopping at Destin Commons (we needed a beach break that morning)

~Guys went deep sea fishing~

~Went out with friends Louisianna Lagnappe and had some drunk lady take our picture. In fact, I believe this is the ONLY shot we got without a random guy sitting with us in a bright orange shirt.~

My stomach started cramping (too much seafood I guess) so I had to go back to the condo. However, I do believe I missed the most fun part of the evening with a trip to Hurricane Lanes and Krispy Kreme.

Friday~spent the day at the beach, caught up with a dear friend from the past Brian Caffey, did a little more outlet mall shopping, went to Outback for dinner and Coldstone for dessert for dinner.

Saturday-back to reality and life on the road. Karson wrote the sweetest little note in the condo guestbook. We love DESTIN and are looking forward to going back next fall!
