Destin, Florida

Jake and I were able to go to Destin, Florida for a week, thanks to my wonderful mom who came to Afton and watched (spoiled) the kids for us.  Jake had a conference there and I was lucky enough to tag along this time, especially because we celebrated our 14th anniversary the week before.

While Jake went to his seminars in the mornings,  I kept myself busy reading or walking on the beach looking for sea shells to bring home for the kids. I came across this cute sand castle which made me really homesick for my kiddios. It made me wish they could have been there building their own castles. Hopefully someday.

We tracked down a Panera Bread, which I miss so bad after having one so close to us when we lived in Manhattan, KS a few years ago. It was so good!!
Jake sight seeing and he was also good at finding the big sea shells. The water was so warm. 
Loving the beach!
One afternoon we went miniature golfing. We hadn't been in years and our scores reflected that but we still had fun!
The next couple of pics are of some sea creatures we came across one night when we were taking a stroll on the beach.  This picture is a close up of a little white crab that started to dig a hole when we spotted him scurrying across the sand. Come to find out that they were everywhere.
Have no idea what this is and I don't want to know.  It was slowly moving around though.  Gross!

The first night we were there we went to this place that had so many good sea food restaurants and live entertainment.  It had a little zip line, climbing wall and lots of cute tourist shops.  We came here every night to eat.
