We are back in Texas after a 12 hour road trip. Thanks in part to two MONSTER energy drinks!! Those things really do work, the only problem is I am still buzzing and it is very, very late at night.
We had a great two weeks in Seagrove, Florida with my sister, niece and nephew, and mom. I took lots of pictures, and hope to find a USB cord somewhere, so I can put some on the blog. We stayed in a small condo complex directly on the beach. Depending on where we set our umbrella up each morning, we were 10-25 steps to the beach. Superb location.
Fun things we did in Seagrove (just in case you ever go there!)
- Walk to Eastern Lake for a swim. Our kids loved swimming in this shallow lake that is right next to the sea.
- Drive 3 miles into Seaside for ice cream and a free show or concert in the outdoor theatre. We saw Sleeping Beauty and it was so cute.
- Gulf World marine park in Panama City. Stingray touch tank, cute dolphins, extreme divers in "oh my" speedos, and even an Elvis impersonator.
- Thomas' doughnuts in Panama City.
- Beach livin' - swimming, boogie boarding, looking for shells, building sand castles, people watching, and catching critters in the ocean (mostly jellies, which is part scary/part fun)
- Angelina's for pizza and MarketCafe for seafood.
- 4th of July fireworks on the beach!
- Spending the day with my brother and sis in law. They were vacationing in Destin and drove over one day to visit us.
The ABSOLUTE best part was just being together with family!
