Destination Destin

After a nearly a year of waiting, we made it back to the beach in beautiful Destin, Florida! In fact, I am intently listening to the crashing of the waves as I compose this post. Most of Lisa’s family is here. Lisa’s mom rented an awesome condo that is loaded and is beach-front, baby! As always, though, the road trip is part of the fun. Many fabulously fond family memories are forged during our forays. (How’s that for alliteration?!) Yes, stopping a hundred times for someone to use the bathroom adds to the comedy, especially when it drives the teenager crazy. Hey, I aim to please. For breakfast, we ate a quick chicken biscuit from McDonald’s and lunch was delectable hot-dogs from Jimmie’s in Albany, GA. Oh, yeah…we based our travels to snag some. When we arrived, the kids played in the gulf while Lisa and I shopped at Publix for some weekly groceries. PSSST, we were even so mean as to buy the teenager a summer reading book from Barnes and Noble. He can catch up during the evenings. I plan on an early morning run on the beach as there is nothing like it. I’m sure there will be lots of God sightings.

  1. On the way to work, I witnessed an amazing sunrise. This is a perk to having to be at work very early.
  2. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. The clouds broke and gave way to the most beautiful sky.
  3. A co-worker and good friend made the grade level breakfast! Grits and egg soufflé. Yeah, I had seconds!!
  4. I basked in the smokiness of the grill cooking hamburgers. Dinner was The Bomb!
  5. I snuggled my daughter to sleep. She requested, I obliged!
  6. I had a thought-provoking and fun chat with a good friend.
  7. My son asked me to eat lunch with him.
  8. Lisa thanked me for doing dishes. It’s my job, too, but it’s still nice to hear.
  9. I read all my birthday cards from the students. Truly heartfelt.
  10. The teenager sent me a text that said he hoped I had a great birthday. I did – it was the best ever.
