Dead Week

Dead week = family vacation this year!  We traveled to our favorite place - Destin, Florida with all of our crew.  I can't remember the last time we went to the beach in the summer.  I'm thinking it must've been back in our Myrtle Beach days when the kids were little bitty.  Up until last fall, we'd been going to Destin during Fall Break, but with Karson's volleyball schedule, it wasn't an option last year.

To say Florida is HOT this time of the year is a total understatement.  Whew, we were crispy from day one!  Our two bottles of sunscreen were almost empty by the end of the week.  Colvin and Debbie got a nice beach house about a 1/2 mile from the beach called Tahitian Treat (207 Tahitian Way) in the Villages of Crystal Beach.  It was a nice little community of houses with a shared lagoon pool in the center.

 

We went to The Donut Hole on Monday morning and ran into Matt's Uncle David.  We've been wanting to see their place in Grayton Beach so after breakfast we headed over to there beach house which was gorgeous. The boys got to stay there last summer with Pap and Nana.

 

 

Monday was also The Bachelorette night - so me, Liz and Karson made a Publix run for Wine, Sparkling Juice, brownies, grapes, cheese and crackers.

We did LUSH face masks to help us find our Prince Charming!!! Poor Becca - hope she finds the perfect mate!

 Mini golf at The Track - always a MUST.

 Dinner at Pompano Joe's is another must along with bright white Spartans shirts!!!

Photos for The Gram with two bathing beauties!

 And last but not least, the kids favorite night of the week - family beach pics =) for the books.
