Well, I have made it back from paradise and back to reality. I could have stayed in Destin,FL, at least another week but unfortunately didn't have the option :( I have never been to the beach and experienced better weather or clearer waters. I didn't pour sweat while attempting to bronze myself which meant I didn't have sand sticking to me which meant I was a happy camper! I also didn't have to try and dodge seaweed, or worse-jellies-, while floating in the bright blue/green crystal clear ocean. It was honestly the most beautiful beach trip I have ever taken. It was made all the better because I got to see my grandparents too! My mom is from Oklahoma and my grandparents and her entire family live there so it is a treat to get to see them. We usually only see them about once or twice a year. We are all hoping that we can go visit for Christmas or Thanksgiving this year. But, back to the beach trip. In addition to the lovely waters, we also had a splendid view from the balcony of our condo. We have stayed in the same condo for 3 years now because the location is absolutely perfect and the views are unbeatable! Here are some pictures from one of the best vacations I've ever had!

Oh, did I mention that we got to go parasailing!!! It was so incredible! I had been once before with Theresa, and my cousin, Sarah, but this was round 1 for my mom and Ashton. If you have never been, I highly encourage it! For 10ish minutes you get to float 1200 feet up in the air and marvel at the beauty of sea and land. It really made me think about how awesome our God is and how His creation is so perfect and breathtaking. You really should try it if you haven't!

The End!
I hope you and your family get to enjoy some time together this summer :)
