Vacation

We had a great week in Florida! For anyone looking for a great vacation spot you will not be disappointed with Destin, Florida! (I personally can't wait to go back...I love this place!) We were all so blown away by this spot since we had never been and had not heard a ton about it. (It has a Southern/New Orleans/Hawaii feel to it. ) There was so much to do with something for everyone. Lots and lots of great shopping, fun restaurants, kayaking, bike riding, nature trails, water park, a "village" (like Whistler's), nice pools, and amazing beaches. (I've been to nice beaches in Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica and Grand Cayman and my opinion is that Destin beats them all. Think white sugar sand and clear water that is 85 degrees!) Of course, the highlight was spending time with our family. We made lots of memories and laughed until our stomachs hurt.

Cool Slideshows!

The trip ended yesterday with quite the adventure in flying. Our first flight to Dallas was delayed about 3 hours, which meant we missed our connection. Our new flight in Dallas was scheduled for 9:00 p.m. (we were supposed to be home in Seattle by 6:00 p.m.), but that was also delayed. Once we got on the plane (the VERY last row, which didn't recline and was about 90 degrees), we sat on the plane for about an hour. As soon as we pulled away (yea!) the POWER went out on the plane (scary)! Add that to getting in at 1:00 in the morning, a turbulent flight and throw in a couple of flight attendants who really needed a nap and there you have it! :) The boys were troopers and I'm sure we'll be laughing it for many years to come!
