The trio have been working incredibly hard this fall so we decided to take a quick trip down to the beach for a few days over Thanksgiving break. We really needed some time on the beach to play football, read, and dip our toes into the Gulf.
Due to Hurricane Michael, we were unable to stay in our usual town(s) and instead opted for something low key in Destin. We had very intermittent Internet and cellular service (due to tower damage), but the emerald coast is still stunning! We settled into a lazy routine of enjoying the breakfast bar, spending the morning lounging on the beach, breaking for lunch and maybe an errand, and then spending the afternoon on the beach. The trio read a LOT (Lauren read 1.5 books), and they played a lot of football, volleyball and badminton. Due to some warmer than usual temps, they were able to take a dip in the pool one day. There were lots of people in the Gulf, but the trio opted to stay in knee deep water.
We purchased Trivial Pursuit to do research for a project Grace is working on for school, and we spent an evening in the lobby with a heated game. Grace won, but we were close on her heels. George - unassisted - was the reigning champion of Uno. We also made good use of the hotel's outdoor fire pit.
We walked along the boardwalk and looked at boats, and we did a little shopping.
By our last day, we were completely relaxed, and we are looking forward to our next trip.
