Florida Vacation

Last Monday through Wednesday (3/17-3/19) we went to Destin, Florida with Eric and Katie and stayed in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo on the beach. It was very relaxing, and the view was great! We were lucky to have nice weather, although it was very windy. The rain held off until Wednesday when we left.
The Pelican Beach Resort from the outside. All of the units are angled so everyone has a view of the beach.
The kitchen.
The living room (very beachy!).
The master bedroom also had a door to the balcony...we were able to listen to the ocean roar all night, which was very soothing!
The view from the balcony-17th floor!
A jellyfish that washed up on the beach. We're not sure if it was alive or dead.
Renee and Scott at Fudpucker's, a touristy restaurant. Right by Renee's shoulder are little baby alligators in the pond in front of the restaurant. You can feed them, and a guide gives a presentation about alligators 5 times a day.
View from the balcony Tuesday. We spent the late afternoon on the beach soaking up the sun.
Katie sharing the hot tub with numerous strangers. The max capacity for the hot tub was 6 but the middle school and high school kids kept piling in regardless.
The beach Tuesday evening at sunset.
Dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse Tuesday night. Eric's company wanted him to take all of us out to nice expensive dinner, and Scott picked Ruth's Chris.Standing in line for go carts after dinner. Scott is the one in the party shirt.Renee and Eric getting ready to go in the go carts. We rented a movie Wednesday night on the last night Eric and Katie were here after we got back. Eric and Scott are both wearing their new Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts.
It was great to see Eric and Katie again and we're glad they could make it down!
