Florida 2011 Day 1

Our first family vacation with Laynie! We left our house at 9:45 Friday night and headed to Destin to meet the Pennington's and the Dennie's. Laynie slept the entire way until we woke her up in Pensacola at 6 to eat at Cracker Barrell (which she loved...she ate all of her breakfast and then some of Kennedy and Camryn's!) Camryn probably slept 3 hours total the whole way down. Not sure what was up with that but she was good! I had insomnia too and didn't sleep a wink! Waiting on Cracker Barrel to open. We got there at 5:45 but it didn't open till 6

We arrived in Destin a little before 9 and our condo had no promises of being ready until the earliest 3 so we decided to go to Panama City and do the Pirate Cruise. The girls had a blast! It was a 2 hour cruise and the kiddos were constantly being entertained. They had water gun fights, got to shoot a cannon, treasure hunts, got treasures, saw dolphins, got their faces painted and got a pirate tatoo!






Kennedy LOVED that we got to see dolphins!






The cruise was from 10-12 and afterwards we ate at a local restaurant, Bruce's. It was really good! Laynie slept through our lunch. She fell asleep in the car and never woke up when we brought her in!

Our first swim in the ocean! The water is full of yucky seaweed! The farther out you go the clearer the water gets so hopefully it will all be clean in a few days






We pass the pool walking back from the beach so we always have to take a quick swim


I love this picture! Luckily we have a huge bar with lots of barstools! Tara and Robby made homemade pizzas for us!

Kennedy and Camryn got the bunkbed room. Of course this is a great hang out spot (especially the top bunk!)
*Since we are vacationing with the Dennie's I am going to try to blog everyday! Yesterday our internet was not working so I am already a day behind.
