Hey Ya'll! This past weekend Andrew and I took a quick trip to one of our most favorite places - Destin, Florida. If you've never been, you need to plan a trip. The sand is like sugar, the water is crystal clear, and the people and restaurants are fabulous. During our time we simply relaxed.

We arrived on Friday, and the weather was gloomy and cold (I'm talking 60 degrees and we should have packed warm clothes, cold). Thankfully the weather warmed up, and it was sunny by Saturday morning! During the day, we could either be found on the beach or on our porch enjoying the weather. We are big fans of utilizing the beach services offered. Instead of lugging chairs and umbrellas to and from the beach each day, (and transporting them and 7 pounds of sand back home) we opt to rent beach chairs and an umbrella. I love to be outside in the sun all day, but my fair skin just can't take the beating, so an umbrella is a necessity! The gentlemen who set up the chairs and umbrellas each day are awesome. You tell them where you want to sit, and they will have your spot ready for you each morning. Just grab a good book, some sunscreen, and a towel and you will be set for the day! I actually barely left my chair once I started reading
Harper Lee's, Go Set a Watchman. I'm almost finished and have loved it so far.
Once evening time rolled around, we would get ready for dinner and head out to our favorite spots. We are huge seafood lovers, and will do our best to eat it every night we can. Our go-tos are
Pompano Joe's and
The Back Porch. Both are located on the beach and allow outside dining, my favorite! If you aren't crazy about seafood, but don't want to rely on a chain restaurant for dinner, try
Callahan's. They offer a little bit of everything, and it's delicious!

If you are not crazy about the beach or want some nighttime activities, there are plenty of other entertainment options in Destin. There are two large shopping areas,
Silver Sands Premium Outlets, as well as
Destin Commons. This year we only made it to Destin Commons. The set up and shops are my favorite, especially at night when all of the night lights are on and music is playing. Or you can venture to the
Harborwalk Village. There are shops and restaurants, and so many neat family activities, like watching boats coming in and out of the harbor.

Today we are heading home, and tomorrow we will face the realities of work and routine again. We are excited to see our fur babies but sure will miss frozen, fruity drinks and the warm sunshine. Happy Tuesday!
