We arrived in Destin, Florida on Sunday, July 1 at 3:00. It took us exactly 10 hours. We found the condo with no problem. Getting the keys was a bit more of a challenge; however, if we would've read all the instructions first, we would've been just fine! We had the van unpacked in 30 minutes and were beach-bound. We ordered pizza in for the night, took a 30 minute walk, made a Walmart run, and watched the rest of the Olympic Trials. We were all tired and headed to bed by 9:30.
Today I didn't wake up until 7:00--wowzer was I tired! I got up and was bummed to know that Kev had been up for an hour and had his morning run in. I soo wanted to run on the beach but my cough has not stopped for 24 hours! Oh, well, the rest of us were up and moving by 8:00 and suits on, staking out our beach territory. Kylie and I had books in hand and the guys were in the water playing catch. I managed to get a nap in while the three of them were dodging waves. We went in for lunch and to cool off at 12:30. An hour later we were back on the beach. I finished 2 books and took a walk by myself and with Kev. Hearing the waves and all the laughter was very relaxing. By 5:30 we were cleaned up and ready to go get some dinner. Kole selected Callahan's using the Urbanspoon ap and he did well! I established the rule that we could only eat at places we've never been to before--and no Chili's in Florida (never been to that one) didn't count! We ran into Walmart on our way home to get a few more things and are now sitting outside enjoying the stillness of the evening. Kev and Kole are giving fishing a try. We are going to play 500 before calling it quits for day 1. What a relaxing first day!
