Florida or Bust

We took our first big road trip with the boys in June to Destin, Florida. We drove breaking it up into two days driving 6 hours each day. We stopped in Vicksburg, Mississippi both times. The first time we walked around the city, went to the historic area, a museum and then found this water park. We stayed right off the Mississippi River which Evan thought was petty cool.



We made it Florida in one piece and got settled in. We found a nice condo that had a kitchen, laundry room and two bedrooms. Was just a short walk to the beach each day and we got beach chairs with an umbrella which worked perfect for nap time and to keep Ian out of the sun some.


Ian didn't like the sand much. He loved the water though. One day we went to a little aquarium that has a dolphin show and other sea life. Afterwards we went to eat a late lunch at a place that had live alligators.


One day we also ventured out to the marina and walked up and down there. Evan had fun finding crabs and jelly fish in the shallow part of the water. We saw lots of people coming in for the evening with their catches.

Back to the beach for more fun. The water was so unbelievable and the sand just white as can be. We had beautiful weather and couldn't have asked for a better time!
