Vacation Day 5 (6/13/14)

Dear Gage and Gabe,

Gabe, you and I started Friday the 13th out with an early morning run. You were up early and since everyone else was still in bed, we decided to take advantage and hit the pavement. I was hoping to get in 6 miles, and while the total was six, we walked the final mile. It was so beautiful outside and the perfect way to start the day.

Gabe, you snoozed for the final few miles. I wish I had it that easy

By the time we got back, everyone was starting to wake up. Since it was our last full day in Miramar, we decided to take full advantage and get outside to soak up some sun. We started out at the pool.

Gage, you loved to play on the steps of the pool.

But occasionally, Daddy would take you out further into the pool

It was quite windy down on the beach and unfortunately, the wind took our canopy tent for a tumble across the beach. Luckily, there wasn't anyone too close by, but the tent wasn't that lucky. Two of the legs were bent beyond repair, so we retired the tent into the dumpster. We were still able to enjoy the day. The windy conditions were perfect for kite flying. You boys thought the kite was pretty cool and took turns flying it. We played in the water, built sandcastles and enjoyed the day. 

That sun is bright!

Gabe, you liked playing in the pools of water caught by the tide.

Daddy buried Gage in the sand

We decided to go out to eat on our last day. We got a recommendation from a local and went into Destin to a place called Harbor Docks. We were able to sit out on the patio to enjoy our meal. The food was delicious and it was a nice atmosphere.

Silly boys wouldn't sit still for a picture

We went back to the condo and decided to go for a walk on the beach. There was a full moon that night so it was a beautiful site. It was the perfect end for a great week at the beach.

We had such a great vacation and we look forward to going back again next year!

I love you,
Mommy
