Happy Thanksgiving!!


This was the view from our condo at the beach in Destin, Florida where we spent Thanksgiving this year. Actually, we've spent the last 5 or 6 years (or maybe longer, I'm not sure) there for Thanksgiving! It is our favorite time to go because there aren't many people and the weather is often still nice enough to get a tan on the beach and swim in the ocean. It's only a 6 hour drive from Lafayette and we've stayed at the same place since Rich & I discovered it 11 years ago by mistake. We took a trip for our anniversary that year and stayed at a Holiday Inn nearby. Our room was so bad that we got up the next morning and immediately started looking for a new Hotel. These condos at Pelican Beach Resort were new and so we ended up there and brought the kids every year after that. The summers became very busy so we started coming for Thanksgiving. This year we thought it would be rainy and cold, but everyday was sunny and warm! Our friends, The Nielsens have come with us almost every time and The Bridges joined us for the last two years. We had a great time on the beach, going to the movies, shopping and playing cards. If anyone ever wants to join us. . . . . . .

So much fun! Drstin used to be my family's Thanksgiving destination until we all got married. Brings back great memories!

That's supposed to be "Destin". I'm a dweeb!
