I’ve been pretty stressed out lately with well life that a family
vacation just sounded like the right medicine. I have been dying to go somewhere
and since Mexico is out of the question, thanks zika, we settled on Destin, FL.
We booked our trip about a month out so not much time for planning, actually
our original plan was to go to Waco/Dallas for Good Friday and then go to
Florida for Memorial weekend but when I looked up the hotel for Waco the prices
sky rocketed so we decided to switch our trips. Which reminds me I need to book
that hotel room before it sky rockets again for memorial weekend. Our trip to
Destin was short Wednesday-Saturday but honestly we were ready to come back by
Saturday.
Grady is at such a fun stage right now, well when he’s not teething
(currently cutting 4 teeth)luckily we kept him quite busy that we didn’t really
notice him being too fussy. I have had huge guilt with being pregnant again and
I just want to soak up all the moments of Grady being the only child for as
long as I can. I hope that I never forget his obsession for shoes and the way
he says blue, socks, and bath or the way he gets so excited and the way he runs
with his left arm swinging. I convinced Chad that we needed a big vacation
before baby sister arrives and we become a family of 4. There’s not much
convincing when you are talking about a beach with Chad so we were on.
We flew out Wednesday morning to Dallas and then caught another plane
from Dallas to Pensacola, Fl. Grady did amazing the first leg, by amazing I
mean slept the entire time. The second flight was a little more difficult he’s an
active little man so he wants to be on the go instead of sitting. Luckily our
flights were short about an hour long. After arriving in Pensacola we got our
rental car and made the final trip to Destin. We stayed in a condo right off
the beach so when we arrived at our condo we immediately changed and ran down
to the beach. It was absolutely adorable watching Grady feel sand for the first
time. He didn’t know quite what to think but then it was all about us chasing
him around.
We ate out for dinner but then shopped at Walmart to grab things for
breakfast and lunch. I will admit that the food in Destin was not that great
and we were not impressed. However the beaches were beautiful and clean! We
spent most of our time at the beach but also went to an aquarium which Grady
had a blast, mostly dancing around but he was so intrigued by the animals it
was so much fun to watch his little eyes pop.
On Saturday, the night we were leaving, Grady was not really acting
himself and was really fussy. I just thought it was due to him being tired but
then during a scream I counted 3 teeth trying to pop through. All I could think
about was AWESOME, so we packed the Tylenol in our carry on and headed out. The
first flight was a little rough but luckily the second flight wasn’t packed so
we had 3 seats to ourselves and Grady could climb all over us.
Beach hair - don't care
