The Destin Journey

August, the month we all try to hang on too. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end one season. A spontaneous trip to Destin Florida with my best friends. Waiting a week before departure day to plan things got a little hectic. Finding a nice decent hotel where age requirement wasn't 21  proved to be a hard task. We finally found a place the picture's seemed nice it even had a kitchen a little living room and all. We booked it with no question FINALLY we had found a place! Later on that night I decided to read some reviews only to find horror stories! Some said it smelled like urine and the carpet had fleas, because it was a pet friendly hotel. My favorite was from a man who said that you were better off sleeping in your car in the Walmart parking lot. Needless to say we cancelled our reservations the next day. We ended up staying at the Comfort Inn, it was a great experience the staff was friendly and it was very nice and clean. Erin drove the full 14 hrs of driving to Destin, what a trooper with out her we would have never gotten there! When we arrived we all took a nap then headed to the beach! First day though we didn't know where to go we ended up at a cove my the bridge it wasn't really a beach more like a cove and it was great for snorkeling we saw many beautiful fish. We also were blessed with a free air plane show! The next day we went to an actual beach it was a state park we had to pay to get it but it was very clean and a pleasant experience. We saw jelly fish sting rays and lots of hermit crabs. One day we even fed the birds BBQ chips we would throw the chips in the air and the would catch it. Kenneth also bout a one dollar kite it flew like it was a fifty dollar kite. Through our beach days we laid out swam snorkeled boogy boarded and tried to skim board saw plenty of  fish and caught some waves!! Our last night was Trevor's birthday, he chose Bubba Gumps. It was the best sea food Id ever eaten! Later we came back to the hotel and surprised him with cheese cake and small gifts. The man at Walmart who wrote happy birthday Trevor actually spelled is name wrong but Trevor didn't notice so shhhh. This vacation made me realized how blessed I am with the people in my life. I had a great time with Erin Rachel Kenneth Trevor and Sterling.
