Destin, FL Vacation

We drove down to Destin, FL for the first time earlier this month and met Grammy & Pappy there for a nice vacation. We had never been so we enjoyed a change of scenery from the South Carolina beaches, although they are nice too. The sand and water here were amazing, so white and clear, beautiful!

Candy Shoppe treats...

One day we went to The Gulfarium, which is a cross between Sea World and an Aquarium although much smaller than Sea World. We all seemed to really enjoy it.

Dolphin Show

We stayed in a condo resort, so we had access to an awesome pool and the beach...right out our balcony, it was perfect!

We were also able to spend the day with some Poth Cousin's, Julianne and Oliver and their son Paul's family. They have a house on the water with a pool in the back and a dock with a fishing boat - Lex's dream house! The kids had a great time playing with their cousin, Charlotte, who is 6. 

We were also able to celebrate Lex's birthday there at the beach, so we hit up Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company for an excellent dinner and then home to the condo for a homemade cake made by the kids and I, decorated by Miss Katelyn! 

Don't be mistaken by the candles, Lex is no longer 23 :)
