Spring Break Road Trip

Ever since we bought our minivan, Paul has been itching to take a roadtrip.  We figured it would be easier while Emily is immobile, so we decided to pile in and drive to Destin, Florida.  What should have taken about 12 hours took us 2 full days.

On the way there we stopped in New Orleans and showed the kids the city we met in!  We walked along the river and Bourbon street...which looked a lot different on a Sunday morning with three kids then when we remembered. :-)

Destin was beautiful.  The whitest sand on the beach.  We had gorgeous weather.  We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo/hotel unit right by our resort's 'town' with restaurants, bars, and a ton of activities for the kids.  It was a very relaxing fun vacation.

Charlie loved boogie boarding!

Kate loved dragging hers around, but was afraid to go in the ocean.

Emily's first time on the beach!  She didn't even have to wait three months.

Inevitably, we had to bury Charlie.

He didn't mind so much.

They built sandcastles.

Kate enjoyed napping on the beach.

Three beautiful kids all dressed for dinner.

Being silly.

Being sweet.

 Charlie and Kate went on the trampolines.

Yay for ice-cream!

Charlie also did the zipline.  He had absolutely no fear.  It was a great Spring Break!
