Sandestin 2011

We took a family vacation to Sandestin the first week of May. If I had to sum it all up in one word, it would be PERFECTION. The weather was beautiful, the water was crystal clear and gorgeous, and a fabulous time was had by all.

First order of business each day: bathing suits on.

On our first morning there, we did some exploring.

Incidentally, this was the last morning for exploring because M&E were very clear that there was to be no more wasting time before heading to the beach.

Did I mention we had Mama Kaye join us? It was great to have an extra pair of hands to help out since I was more than a little pregnant. I was able to sit still often and really relax - nice. M&E of course loved her company too, and we didn't exactly have to twist Mama Kaye's arm to get her to come along.

The water was a little chilly, but we couldn't be kept out of it. M&E ran straight to it every day when we got out and would stay in until they were literally purple and shivering. Then, they would wrap up in a towel and warm up before declaring that they were warm enough and ready to head back in for more.

M&E had their first experience with a beach staple: the go carts. They were a hit. In fact, they could not stop talking about how fast they went.

Before we knew it, it was time to go back home.

M&E have told me multiple times that they want to go back to the beach and I couldn't agree more. I think next year we definitely need to stay longer or possibly take more than one trip.
