We're back...and we're SOOO tired!

Well, the title says it all=) We are back from our much too short beach vacation and we are pooped. Especially little Jacob, who did not get a nap for 3 of the last 4 days.

We arrived in Destin around 4pm on Friday. It was pouring rain when we got there, but this was the only time it rained the whole trip (thank goodness). We were very pleasantly surprised with our condominium. We stayed at the Ariel Dunes (http://www.majesticsunindestin.com/).

The place was 2 bedrooms......a master suite with a king bed, a smaller bedroom with a queen bed and the living room had a sleeper sofa. Fully furnished, including pots, pans, washer and dryer, refrigerator, freezer with ice maker, 2 beach chairs and an awesome balcony that overlooked the gulf! We could not have hoped for anything better, especially the view from our room. I would definitely recommend this place=) We also got a free chair(s) and umbrella setup each day, discounts at the local restaurants, and a discount on the water sports (which Mike took advantage of!).

Initially, Jacob really liked the waves splashing on his feet, but once the first strong wave came and swept him off of his feet (in the first 10minutes) he was done with the gulf of Mexico, it was not his friend anymore!!! So he stayed as far away from the water as we would allow him to go and was as happy as a clam digging in the sand with the shovel that his Gigi got him.

We met some friends of ours there for dinner one night and beach time the next day. Their little girl is about Jacob's age and they love each other.....I promise to post some pictures of them tomorrow. He was great in the car, the DVD player really helped and he bugged my mom most of the time, but she didn't really seem to mind!

All in all it was a much needed getaway and we already cannot wait for next years trip.


Oh...and some random happenings here lately....my very best friend Kim got engaged this weekend.....CONGRATS Kim and Rob!!!!!!! I look forward to the wedding=)

I also put in my official 2 weeks right before we left for Destin. It went well, but I know my manager could hear my voice quivering!!!

Well, I am finally off to bed, pictures to follow soon.................
