Every year since we have been married, Brady and I have gone on a summer vacation. Our first anniversary we took a road trip north to Niagara Falls, Canada for a week and then came down the east coast on the way home. Our second anniversary, we visited Brady's brother, Bobby, and his wife and kids in Sydney, Australia for a month! We had a blast for sure.... Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge and whale watching! Our third year of marriage we went to New York and visited all the famous sites there.... Statue of Liberty, Time Square, Empire State Building. Our fourth year, we were moving so no vacation that year. The following year, 2009, I was 8 months pregnant with Bree so no traveling that year. Bree's first summer vacation we traveled to Myrtle Beach and she hated it! She didn't like the water or the waves, but liked the sand.... a little. Her second summer we went on a road trip to various spots in Colorado: Colorado Springs, Vail, and Silverthorne. And this summer, 2012, we took a road trip to Destin, Florida for the first time.
On our way there, we stopped in New Orleans for the Fourth of July. Fireworks were set off of two barges on the Mississippi River. It was an amazing sight for sure. We loved it! And of course beforehand, we had to stop and eat some beignets at Cafe Du Monde :)
Then on to our destination.....What a beautiful place!!! The beaches were different than those in Myrtle Beach. The sand of the beaches of Destin was white and so very soft. It felt so good between my toes. The water was emerald green and so very clear. A week in Paradise :) This trip was so very different than Bree's first trip to the beach. She was a beach bum this time. She had to be bribed and dragged away from the beach every day. Building sand castles with her Daddy, swimming back and forth from me to Daddy looking at the fish, splashing in the water on the shore, and being buried in the sand, she had an amazing time. A vacation we will always remember!!!!! :)
