Vacation in Destin

**WARNING**--Picture overload!
Ok, so this is just a few of the pictures I took but it was hard to just choose a few! So, we headed out to Florida last week for our first "family vacation". The plan was to drive 7-8 hours then stop and spend the night somewhere and then drive the rest of the way the next day and that is just what we did. It worked out perfect that way. The kids wers great both days. Thank goodness for the dvd player in the truck!!
So here is a some pictures and a little about our adventure....
We stopped in Mobile, AL on the way down to tour the USS Alabama! I had been there and toured it 19 years ago but it was so cool to go through it again and show all the boys what a ship is like. My Dad was in the Navy for 25 years and used to be stationed on ships like this so it is neat for me to imagine what it was like for him to be on one!

This was taken right after we arrived at the condo and we went straight down to the beach. I just love this picture of my boys!



Cadyn was working hard in the sand

Camryn was working hard too but had a second to pose

Then it was Dusty's turn!

This was the view from the balcony of our condo! Beautiful!

Every time I got the camara out Camryn would come running up and say "take a picture of my teeth mom" and then he would want to look at it. Silly boy!

Cadyn was coming in from searching hard for seashells

Almost everyday Camryn would go up to random people on the beach and strike up a conversation. This lady told us that he said he was going to go home with her! Not a shy bone in his body!

So of course we had to take some pictures out on the beach in our dress up clothes! I am so proud of how cute they turned out considering Camryn wouldn't stop rolling in the sand!

This one is one of our favorites!

Goofing around! I love this man!
One of the sand castles Dusty and Cadyn made

The guys dug a tunnel in the sand and then had the kids crawl through from one side the other. They thought it was so much fun till it collapsed on one of the kids legs. No one got hurt though!
Camryn was headed down in this pic!

Coming out the other side

Cadyn made it all the way through!

Now, it wouldn't be a trip without a little Camryn fit!
We had a great time but it was nice to come back home!

I LOVE the family pics! It looks like you guys had so much fun. I miss going to the beach each summer. We did that when we lived in GA, had more money, & no kids. HA!
