vacation!


We left for Destin Monday mornng and after four games of Travel Settlers, we arrived in short order! Abigail did great in the car and remained happy and entertained for the 10 hour car ride (a huge answer to prayer!).

We spent the days at the beach, the nights playing games, and we slept late every day. Jaclyn and John made the perfect traveling companions, helping keep Abigail entertained and staying flexible as can be. It helps that they love Starbucks, eating in and playing board games:) Rodney and John were buds all week - keeping busy by tossing the football and frisbee, golfing, and boogie board/wave surfing. The ladies enjoyed being beach and porch bums:) Abigail treated the sand like hot lava (even though it was actually not that hot) and was content to sit on the towel to play with her toys and eat her snacks. It made for a very relaxing vacation.

None of us were ready to come home, especially knowing that Rodney had to leave for Canada early Monday morning.









I'm so glad our friends suggested we plan our vacation in early June because on our way out of town we could see the tar beginning to wash up on Florida's beaches. It may be years before the the Gulf recovers...
