Our first family trip with Adelaide, the three of us packed our bags and headed down to the sunshine state. Tiff & Ryan ordered beautiful blue skies and warm temps for the week. Our condo was located just across the street from the beach so we were able to walk everywhere. We enjoyed the quaintness of Gulf Place with unique, niche restaurants and shops. We took advantage of the weather by taking daily walks up and down the beach.
Thursday night, we enjoyed a beach bonfire with live music, potent punch, and yummy s'mores. Adelaide loved the bright lights via tiki torches and soothing sounds of the crashing waves. Ryan and I enjoyed the beer & wine and the company of friends.
Friday Adelaide & I hit the beach for a few rays (for me) and a little nap (for her). After a short walk around the resort, we put on our wedding attire and witnessed the vows between Tiff & Ryan. The cermony was beautiful, set on the beach as the sun was beginning to set. The bride was stunning and the groom was precious. Then we headed to the lawn for a Mad Men themed reception complete with swanky white couches, tequila infused shrimp appetizers, mustaches on a stick, TV dinners, and enough bourbon to mistake the event for the Kentucky Derby!
We braved getting a sitter for Adelaide for a few hours (mind you that we could see our condo from the reception :) ) so that we could boogie the night away. We certainly did just that between re-inacting our wedding song, getting down to rap, and fist pumping to the couple's techno mix.
Saturday we had a little family day with breakfast at the Donut Hole, browsing/shopping at the outlets, and a seafood dinner in Destin. Ryan & I are getting used to and sort of good at this parent thing ;)
We really did enjoy a wonderful family trip for three as we got to relax and rejuvenate ourselves and our spirits!
