A little over a month ago we went on a much needed vacation to Destin, FL. It was Avery's first vacation, unless you include our trips to the state of Arkansas.
We stayed at Destin West on Okaloosa Island on the bay side and LOVED it. It was perfect for our family. Right off our balcony was a lazy river, which Avery didn't love. I guess a lazy river isn't very appealing to a busy toddler. However, there was also a zero entry pool which Avery really enjoyed. One of her favorite things to do was push the big tubes back and forth through the pool.
Just like her mom, Avery doesn't like to get her feet dirty. I do like sand though. We learned very quickly that Avery didn't like the sand AT ALL. She preferred to sit in her chair with her feet up.
Once we did get her to stand in the sand, she would curl her little toes under. PRECIOUS. Actually, I think this was the only time she stood on the beach. She did learn a new word though and practiced the word sand by saying it over and over again.
Each time we walked by this lovely dolphin statue, Avery would stop and say "hi."
At the end of the week, my parents joined us for a few days.
Matt and I decided to take advantage of having the grandparents around, so we woke up early one morning to hunt for seashells. We ended up walking a LOOOONG way down the beach. I am pretty sure doing that every day would have me in shape in no time!
The last night we went out to the fishing pier on Okaloosa Island.
We all enjoyed relaxing and getting some extra sleep throughout the week. I am pretty sure it was one of the most relaxing weeks in years, even with a toddler to keep up with.
This is the ONLY family picture I found on the camera. I hope to make this more of a priority in the future.
Beautiful. The End.
