Sing it With Me...

Back to life, back to reality. Back to life, back to reality. However do you want me...
So words cannot express how absolutely wonderful our long weekend beach trip to Florida was. Really. So very wonderful. We went with our good friends Steve and Shaina. Some much needed R & R and just enjoying the slow pace. It's amazing how much shopping you can get done with no little ones in tow. And it's amazing how much more relaxing eating out can be too. ;)

These next 2 pics were taken from our balcony. Our condo was right on the bay. There were boats passing constantly. So relaxing to just sit and watch. The living area had windows all around so you could look out at the water. It's gonna be up for sale so we totally talked about buying it. It's selling for like a million. No big deal right? ;) How nice would it be to own something like that though? Where you could get away any old time you wanted.


The beach was soooo beautiful. The sand was white, white and the water was extremely clear. And FREEZING. But it was nice just to lay out on the beach and people watch while the guys golfed. We saw dolphins swimming by on Friday and on Sunday. So very cool. I tried to get pics, but they were swimming a little too far out.

On Saturday, Shaina and I shopped until we just about dropped while the guys golfed. So many awesome stores to shop at in Destin. There's the factory outlet and there's Destin Commons, which is fairly new, and has a ton of cool stores. We both went a little crazy at the Gap outlet. Lots of good sales going on there.

We also ate lots of good food. On Friday night, we ate at Capt. Dave's on the Gulf. They have good seafood and are indeed, right on the gulf. Really good view and really good food. On Saturday, it was Steve's birthday and he chose Osakas. A hibatchi grill place. That was really good as well. Had some shrimp and lobster. Yummy!! He didn't want his pic on the blog, so I'm gonna be nice this time. But I don't make any promises for the next go round.
And one more pic, well because I told her that this one would definitely be included. So here it is. Fun, fun times folks.

I think I put a few pounds back on this weekend. Lots of good food was consumed. Have you ever tried the german chocolate brownies from Winn Dixie? Let's just say ohmyword. Best brownies ever. Before leaving for the weekend, I had lost 9 pounds total over the last several weeks. A few pounds were added back over the last few days. But so worth it. So very worth it.
