Pics from "The Beach"... as promised!

So... a little more on the trip to the beach! Our destination was Perdido Key... that is about 40 miles West of Destin (for you Destin fans!) in the Pensicola area! The drive was long, but worth every mile! We ventured through 5 states and had an adventure in just about every one!! Our favorite was looking for signs of the leprachaun in Mobile, Alabama! (for those of you wondering about this... tune into Youtube and search the leprachaun in Mobile newscast... you will laugh until you cry!) After an overnight stay in Hattisburg, Mississippi, and lots of "fun family time" in the car... we made it! The beaches are pure white... or sugar as Karsyn describes!! And... believe it or not, it was way cooler there than it was here. We rented a condo for the week and had rights to a private beach... cabana boy and all!! We went to the beach each morning, then the pool, followed by lunch and a great nap! Our evenings were spent searching for crabs and seashells on the beach, swimming, cooking in and of course finding lots of great seafood spots out as well! My only disappointment was that from the time we left Texas until we got to Florida, we saw maybe 1 Starbucks!! We finally found one on about day 5, the DT's had about come to an end by then, but of course we indulged!! We had so much fun and will definitely go back again! Here are a few fun pictures!!
