Wonderful Weekend at the Beach!

Jeff lucked into a medical conference this weekend at the BEACH!! That meant a mini vacation for me and Dad. So on Friday we hopped into the car and began our 2 1/2 adventure. Of course there is a web album to document our journeys (click on the picture to view the album)...

Destin-April 2007


Some highights are:
  • Steak 'n Shake in Montgomery with the septic tank being emptied (peeee-ewwwwww)
  • Sunset on the beach on Friday night with brewskies
  • Saturday morning's walk on the beach (Nic and Dad) with Dad jumping in the ocean
  • Dad deciding to go on the inflatable kiddie slide (and cheating by sneaking in with no pass)
  • Our bike ride through the resort and sore booties to follow
  • Jeff rejoining us for lunch at Pompano Joe's on the beach (more brewskies)
  • Shopping at the Outlet Mall - woohoo!
  • Saturday afternoon nap (2 hours while the bad weather rolled in)
  • Torrential downpours on Saturday night while we sat in a beach side restaurant with live music and a tin roof (imagine the sound of rain and some great karaoke) - oh - and more brewskies
  • Sunday morning - Nic and Dad having breakfast at the Broken Egg Cafe - lots of coffee and yummy bagels
  • Dad and Nic taking a hike on the nature trail and climbing the treehouse with 40 mph winds
  • More outlet shopping!!!
  • Another shot at Steak 'n Shake
  • The Peach Park in Clanton with homemade ice cream and fried pies to die for (yes it was an eat-fest)
  • Coming home - boohoo - back to real life

Thanks to Jeff and Dad for another great weekend! More great memories created. To leave you with an idea of how nutty Dad is at the beach- here he is jumping in to the ocean (NO I DID NOT PUSH HIM). Click on the picture to view the video.
