Destin Diary 2013: Vacation Day 3

Yesterday started out with everyone on the balcony again looking for dolphins.  We also watched the Steve Atwater vs. Christian Okoye hit - you should look it up - and the 1995 Pizza Hut Commercial with Deion Sanders.  It's amazing what you end up talking about that leads you to YouTube.

Anyway, yesterday I got to go out on the beach with the first wave, and it was nice to not have to watch my entire family slather up and leave while I hung out alone in the condo.  There's something about everyone walking out the door together that makes you feel a little sorry for yourself.  Tales of a mama nursing a newborn.  There was plenty of sunshine and the water was clear.  We spent about two hours on the beach, and then Ryan, Alli, Lindsey, and John went to parasail.  I am so lucky Alli has a parent that's not me who will let her do daring things.  I would still be saying no when she's twenty five and can pay for it herself.  They went to a place called Just Chute Me to board a boat named The Breezy for their adventure.









Alli even got to drive and dock the boat.


This kid has too much nerve for her own good.  I spent the afternoon in the condo with Riley, and then we made reservations at 5:30PM at the Marina Cafe.  A few years ago we went to a great place called the Fish Bar, and the Marina Cafe is owned by the same people.  The food was good, the atmosphere was nice, the dining room overlooked the harbor, and Mama had two glasses of Pinot Noir.  Thankyouverymuch.


Afterwards, we came back to the condo for an evening swim in the pool, and then we all watched the original Parent Trap movie.  It was Alli's first time to see it, and I am sad to report that I fell asleep right when they were cutting Susan's dress.  Mom problems.
