After the school year ended and we celebrated Johnny's birthday, we packed up and headed south to Florida. We met up with the McNeely/Fly crew and spent several incredible days on the beach in Destin! We spent lots of time in the sun, ate some amazing food and really enjoyed just being together. It was definitely an adventure we will never forget-we truly love making memories like this!
Because we were only in Destin a few days, we decided flying would be much better than driving and the kids did amazing! Thankfully, our flights were smooth and we had zero delays or issues!
As soon as we arrived at our house, we hopped on the golf cart and headed to the beach!!
We stayed at the beach until it got dark and we were hungry. And then, we were at the beach bright and early the next morning and spent the day in our happy place!
(This ice cream cart was such a fun treat! Expensive, but fun!)
There's nothing like a good "dad nap" on vacation.... :)
The view from one of our favorite restaurants "The Back Porch"
Surf Style is always a "must stop" for souvenirs.....I couldn't get Johnny to get in the pic though
I am not sure if we spent more time in the ocean or in the pool at the house. Either way, we are pretty much fish because we were constantly in the water.
Another favorite restaurant: Boshamps! The waiting area is one of the best I've ever seen and the food was incredible.
The grand finale of the trip was renting a pontoon with a double slide and driving it out to Crab Island. We spent half a day anchored out in the ocean and had the BEST time sliding, wading and relaxing in the water.
After half a day on the boat, we came back to the house and spent the rest of the day in the pool. The guys had an intense game of basketball happening...dads vs. kids....lol....dads won.... ;)
We cleaned up, had some pizza and then ventured back to the beach one last time for some pics. After taking pictures, we ended the night at an ice cream shop.....A boat + a pool + pizza + beach + ice cream = heaven on Earth for this girl!
We had to be checked out of our house pretty early, so we were gonna get to the airport well before our flight. As we were driving out of town we passed the Bass Pro and it didn't take much begging from the kids to get us to stop. This hanging "Shark" was so cool!
We made it to the airport in plenty of time, boarded our flights and made it home safe and sound.....bummed and missing our people, but thankful we made it home safely if we had to go home.
And that's a wrap on Destin 2025! Can't wait for the next trip!!
