Spring Break 2019

So thankful for the change of mind & the decision to leave on Friday night after work instead of Saturday. Our hotel was able to take us a day early, and although the 1st FL day was windy and sunless, it was still warm & ocean side!
I feel qualified to be a kid menu reviewer and hotel shower reviewer after this trip ;)

Saturday morning, 4 hours closer to our vacay spot!



 YESSSSS
 We are here! Embassy Suites, you rocked! We highly recommend this hotel https://embassysuites3.hilton.com/en/hotels/florida/embassy-suites-by-hilton-destin-miramar-beach-DSIESES/index.html

We were on floor 4.
Awesome room.
 Awesome room cleanup service each day, one of our fave perks of a hotel over a condo!
Awesome location - we had an ocean view room, so we woke up to sun, palm trees and waves. We had to walk across the street for the beach, but it was no biggie at all. It seemed like a private beach with tourists yes, but not an over abundance. It was just perfect! And the crystal clear Gulf water! Freezing, yes! But beyond gorgeous, with sand bars, so the kiddos played endlessly and were safe!


 And a huge perk: FREE BREAKFAST... lots of food choices... & made to order omelettes, eggs and pancakes.
Baby H makes my meal time super limited, which is a blessing, the less I put on now, the less will need work in June, I suppose... hubs handled my portion of the free-ness to make sure we enjoyed the perk ;)
 Saturday!! Gray, but who cares!! Beachside!!


 No Easter Bunny at Bass Pro Shops? No prob! We can take full advantage of that pretty backdrop ;)







 Sunday Funday!

 How is this stud our son #sohandsome ❣

 Glad we saw this before ... ouch!!

 Another perk: Evening Happy Hour : Snacks and Drinks! It made Hannah's day to drink Sprite from a fancy glass :)


Ready for our Day! In an effort to make us all happy ( because let's get real- I am happy sitting beach side all day err day, but the kids only last a few hours, so we started each day with breakfast , then an outing, then a beach afternoon, then Happy Hour and Supper out!) 
 Day 2. Ouch. That wind was so awesome that no one knew how burnt we were getting!












 Coolest sand toys!
Can be bought here!
Sand Toys #1
Sand Toys #2
sand Toys #3




 Supper! Love finding good deals on meals! $5 burger night at World of Beer, and the best kids meal so far! Their chicken fingers were beyond legit, served with amazingly tasty steak fries! And all for $5 bucks!



 Tuesday! Go Carts!














 Wednesday! We shopped in the am- another perk of this location?! Outlets a mile away! And not just ANY outlets... but Jcrew and Crewcuts just to name my 2 fave ;)


 We had some talented teens next to us!
 And then ours 😊



 Steak night!

 Obsessed with these sunkissed faces

And oh how they slept! 

 Thursday! The trek home begins! Thank you technology!
 For the 1st time ever ever ever ... the sun got to my lips!? And I had some Kim Kardashian lips for 2 days! Loved it!😉

 Here's our dream house. Ya'll are welcome to visit us.. in Alabama haha!


 Friday! Almost home! ( yes we make a 13 hour trip last 2 days ;))

 Carb overload for the non sandwhich eater!

And hooray for Home sweet home ... our own beds.. and all the heart eyes for Hudson's soldiers and Legos that welcomed him home
