Ahhhh... Sandy Beaches!!

My  parents took Josh and me to Destin, Florida last weekend and, apart from the constant rain... it was a fabulous weekend!! As if I needed another vacation, right?!  I've been to AR to party, to NY to party and now to Destin.  Buuuuut.... school is back in full-swing, and I will be busy busy until I graduate in May 2010.   I may or may not get a week off over Christmas or New Years.  I'll definitely get one or the other, but I won't find that out until the 2nd week of December, if that early.  So... I know you don't feel sorry for me now, but I'll be asking for sympathy soon :) Anyway, I was thankful to my parents for wanting to share their vacation with us, if not for them- Josh and I may have been enjoying a staycation this year. 

In keeping with Destin tradition we visited all of our favorite food spots including The Crab Trap, The Donut Hole, and The Candymaker.   We also stopped by the outlet mall which is a fave of mine. I think Josh and I should look into Florida for a post-graduate location! 

Ariel Dunes at Seascape, our fantabulous resort! We were on the 18th floor. I love high rises!

Dad may be dressed for the beach, but they are headed out to buy fresh shrimp for dinner.

The beaches in Destin are immaculate

My favorite woman in the whole world!

If you can't beat the bucket hat... join the bucket hat :) P.S. This is my new Juicy bathing suit that I bought in NYC! The bows are SO cute!!!

A storm rolled in, cutting short our time in the sun, so we headed for the work-out room instead.  I got a mile and a half in before dinner. Not too shabby for vacay.

Happy Birthday Mom!!  Just like last year, we celebrated Mom's birthday at the beach again this year.  The orchid on the top was so perfect, since orchids surrounded our resort!
