For the past few days, we had fun in the sun down in Florida! We stayed in lodging on Tyndal AFB and enjoyed trips to Panama City Beach and Mexico Beach. Tyndal has a private beach so we used that a few times. You have to walk about 1/2 a mile down a walkway to get there but we didn't complain about the exercise... plus, it was all worth it when we came over the hill and saw the sun shining on the ocean! We saw a few crabs, fish, and sting rays. Some guys were fishing off the shore and were catching tons of fish (don't know what kind for sure). The beach had beautiful white sand and nice calm waters for Wyatt to wade in. Garett even touched the water with his little toes but let his crabbiness shine through - so he returned to the safety of the blanket under the umbrella!
We can see how Panama City Beach is a hot spot for Spring Breakers! Lots to do down there. We're hoping to go down sometime without the boys and play around -- they had some awesome putt-putt/go cart places (or we'll just wait till they are older and can join us). Mexico Beach was the opposite way and we went there one afternoon for some swimming. We found a public pier that would be great to crab off of - maybe next time! The town was a beautiful, little quaint town -- some really cute little homes on the beach.
We decided to check out the local restaurants. One night, we went to an oyster bar (the parking lot was nothing but old oyster shells!). The seafood was wonderful... I can't say the same for the oysters but I ate 4 or 5 of them! I preferred the alligator and key lime pie! Our last night there, we went to a pizza joint called the Red Elephant. That was some mighty fine pizza and dessert - elephant ears!! We also found a nice breakfast joint where the biscuits and gravy were only $2.45 for a full order and that was a lot of food! Wow... talk about reasonable!
Wyatt really enjoyed the beach - swimming, playing with the frisbee and football, and of course playing in the sand! Garett really seemed to enjoy all of his naps. And Jake and I really enjoyed our family time together! Our first family vacation was a hit! Can't wait to do it again. Enjoy our video!
~~Having troubles with movie... will try again soon! Here's just some pics to show you a bit of our trip. Check back soon for the movie.
