Welcome to Destin

Well, the car trip to Destin was pretty uneventful. We arrived in Destin, Florida around 2:00 p.m. and checked into our hotel. After we changed into our bathing suits with proper attire over them, we headed out to explore the town. We decided to not ask any questions, inquire about hot spots or take a map with us. We decided to just get into our car, and look for the beach. It sounded like a good idea at the time, but looking back, maybe we should have asked for a little help. We did end up finding a public beach access, parked our car and began the hike to the public beach. We were not entirely prepared for the hike through such soft sand. It was virtually impossible to walk on and you pretty much had to shuffle your feet just to stay upright. My calves were killing me by the time we reached the water. The sand is much different than I am used to. For one thing, it is pretty close to being white, and it is clean. It reminds me of sugar and is very fine in your hands. The water was so clear you could see all the way to the bottom. This was very helpful considering the water was being overrun with jellyfish! Another thing that surprised me was the water was pretty cool and the weather is much nicer than Texas. Everyone tells me Florida weather is just like Texas, well maybe today was a fluke because there was no humidty at all. When we decided to go for a swim this evening, we had to cut it short because it was too cold! I know when we get to Orlando and walk around Disney for a few hours, I will want this weather back! We are having a great time and are looking forward to visiting with Mickey and friends tomorrow! Nite all!

Summer.....

Wow, it has been a really long time since my last post. I really don't know why except maybe I have discovered facebook. Summer is going well...we finally started getting rain. We are leaving for our family vacation on Friday morning. We are going to Florida with our first stop in Destin to see a real, pretty, clean beach. I have always wanted to visit Destin and am really excited about seeing it. After Destin we are going on to Orlando and going to Disney World. We are spending 7 days at Disney World and are staying at the Disney Resort. I have never been and have been looking forward to this for a very long time. This has been a really interesting summer. We have had problems and obstacles I hadn't thought would come our way, but they did. It has been stressful to say the least, but I feel we are past a lot of it and are looking forward to what is to come. I am always ready to go back to school, I am just not the stay at home type. I start to get really bored, and that is where I am at now. Well, I will post more after our trip.
