After 10 hours of driving (including nasty traffic in Mobile & heavy rain) on Saturday, we stop at the visitors center, expecting to be able to drink free OJ (per my mom's info) and do some of the other things one does at rest stops. Instead we are greeted by gray skies and no power, locked restrooms & no staff except the folks telling us the restrooms are closed. So much for that idea. I spent a good chunk of the rest of the 2+ hours we spent in the car hoping this weather would not hold for the whole week.
We eventually made it. Tired, mildly cranky, but we made it. We stayed in a great(pet friendly!) condo in Destin where we could walk across the street to our private beach with umbrellas and chairs already set up. Rory enjoying her view from the condo balcony:
Sunday morning we ventured down to the beach and enter the shock. This ain't Galveston people! The beach was white, not gray. The water was emerald green, not gray. We're ruined for life! My girlies at their first day at the beach:
Day 2: Beach in the morning. 
Mini-Golf in the afternoon. It's "Neenee's turn" which basically means she gets to go drop her golf ball in the hole and take it out again.

My husband get carried away.
Coming later this week - enter Granddaddy.

Oh the beach! We are not going until next month and I can not wait. Now I really have the fever. Thanks for sharing.
I am so jealous. Guess I'll have to settle for Disney instead. I miss nights at the ocean so badly! Looks like you guys had a great time. You are such an adorable fam!
