It seems like it has been forever since we went on our summer vacation to Florida. I guess because it was at the beginning of summer break and now we are at almost the end of it. This was probably our first vacation where the main focus was relaxing and not making big plans for every single minute. We love to be on the go a lot, but this was actually a nice change of pace.
We drove for 12 hours (which wasn't that bad) and we were blown away when we arrived to the most beautiful soft sand and crystal blue/green water. It was far better than I had ever imagined. We knew it was going to be nice, but not THIS nice. We have been to other beaches but this was the most beautiful. We stayed in Santa Rosa Beach, FL (off of 30A) which isn't too far from Destin (but far enough from the crowds). We vacationed with Bob's brother (Bill), wife (Linda) and their 2 girls.
Here is a picture of the kids on our first day.
We loved the beach at night.
The guys chartered a boat one day and went fishing. You can tell from this picture that it was a very successful trip. We got to enjoy a lot of fish eating during our trip and we still have some in our freezer.
We went into a nearby area called Seaside. It was so cute. We loved the food trucks.
A few shots from one of our last nights.
A pic of our condo building. We couldn't get any closer to the beach. It was great.
We spent most of our time just hanging out on the beach and playing in the water. We went into Destin one day and went snorkeling (we weren't totally impressed with the fish we saw) and shopping a little. We went to Red Bar one day (one of the few restaurants we went to) and it was amazing. I am pretty certain that we will be going back to Santa Rosa Beach!!! Highly recommend it!!!!!
