| The view from our Majestic Sun unit |
I can't even tell you the last time that Ryan and I went to the beach... felt the sand between our toes and got some much-needed sun. It's been a while. So, when our good friends, Justin & Marli said they were taking a vacation to Destin with their sweet little girl, Presli, we jumped at the chance to join them! We just got back and boy, do we wish we were still there! The weather and the company were perfect. :)
 |
| The Majestic Sun - where we stayed. |
DAY ONE:
 |
| There's Ryan - blowing bubbles with Presli on the balcony. |
 |
| Ahhhh.... the beach :) |
We ate a delicious lunch (fried oyster & shrimp po' boys, seafood nachos, and a blackened amberjack sandwich) at
The Back Porch - right on the water. Perfection! :)
Here is the view from our table:
And who would eat right on the beach without taking a stroll through the surf?
Time for a bit of BABY SHOPPING! I had not purchased one item of baby clothing for Baby Girl Smith... and I thought it was about time! So, Marli and I went to the outlets and she bought clothes for Presli and Baby Paxtin while I was overwhelmed by all the baby girls stuff...
 |
| Presli was a bit overwhelmed as well... |
 |
| Oh dear... I knew this would happen! |
Then it was off to the beach for some lounging and sand castle building! Ryan and I took a lesson from a guy at Frito Lay and so we came prepared! We had an assortment of equipment and tools ready to make a kick-ass castle. Ryan and Justin did all the hard manual labor...
 |
| It's a tough job... |
 |
| Adding some details... |
 |
| Loving the staircase! |
 |
| Not a bad place to be hanging out... |
 |
| If you can't take the heat... |
 |
| It's getting fancy! |
 |
| Ta dah! |
 |
| The finished product! |
 |
| Time to go in and get some rest for tomorrow's castle! |
DAY TWO:
 |
| Another day... another adorable outfit! |
 |
| We set up camp in the same spot this time... and made another sand castle! |
 |
| This one got more attention than the last one... |
 |
| We think the stone work really added something extra... |
 |
| And there we are with our creations! (the sand castle and the fetus... lol) |
 |
| Any excuse to show off that bump! |
 |
| Add caption |
 |
| We even signed our creation! |
For dinner we went to
Dewey Destin - another local seafood spot on the water. Before dinner, Ryan and I took a walk down to the dock and we met a very tame blue heron...
 |
| There's the restaurant! |
 |
| The perfect sunset! |
DAY THREE:
 |
| We had a very fancy lunch of hot dogs and friend okra... ;) |
For our third and final day (boooo), we decided the beach was the place to spend it. So, we set up our little camp again and went to work!
 |
| Sand Castle #3 |
 |
| Someone got a bit sleepy after playing in the sand! |
Thanks for looking! :)
