Last Minute Trip to Destin!

DSCN0295

Nana and Poppy went to Destin. Once they got there they realized they wanted ETHAN! So Ethan and I hopped a plane the next day and Nana and Poppy picked us up at the airport! We played on the beach all day every day. Ethan collected so many seashells. He was so excited every time we found even the tiniest one. We even found 2 perfect sand dollars!

We visited our favorite little spot in Destin, Bay Town Wharf. We had a great dinner at Poppy's (yes, Poppy's!) restaurant, then walked out on the pier and fed the fish. Bay Town has the cutest area for kids with lots of fun games and activities. Ethan even jumped on the bungee trampoline.

The next day Poppy and I went parasailing. Nana and Ethan rode out on the boat with us. It was so beautiful and peaceful...until we splashed down in the ocean! It was something I'll never forget.

We picked up 2 new family members in Destin, Jack Sparrow and Clark Kent, 2 hermit crabs. We carried them all the way back to Clarksville where they now reside in Ethan's room. (update: Jack Sparrow and Clark Kent are no longer with us. Evidently the lifespan of a Florida gift shop hermit crab is not that long. May they rest in crabby peace.)
