Back Track Pt 1: Fort Walton Beach Vacation








So June 7-10th 08' we took our first official family vacation since Addie was born. We have been to reunions and holidays with the Missouri group since she was born, but this was the first time with just us. Ella had seen the ocean when we went to California in May 06', but that had been awhile. Of course, Addie had never seen it. We had alot of fun, but I wish it could have lasted longer. Wish Matt had more vacation time from work. We just hung out around the pool, on the beach, and went down to Destin to eat at AJ's and shop at Destin Commons. The girls got to go on a shopping spree for their stuffed animals at Build-a-Bear. Oh, and what vacation with kids isn't complete without a trip to McDonalds :) Fine dining of course when you have a 3 and 1 year old. They had an awesome McDonalds in Shalimar that another couple with kids Ella and Addie's age told us about. They had vintage happy meal toys on display in the playland, free arcade games, air hockey and little slides that were good for the girls age. I really hate the playland at the McDonalds in BG. Not only does it seem gross, but their is no way to see your kids once they enter the climbing equipment...plus I am always worried one will get up their but not want to come down. This place was much more cool and age appropriate for our kiddos. We also went to Fudruckers and the girls loved that. Their was a play area outside and their was also an Alligator Farm where you could feed the alligators...which no we didn't do that. Anywho, hear are pics.
