Dustin, Alec and I just got back from a long weekend in Destin. Alec's favorite part, The Slides at Crab Island!! We stayed at the Fort Benning Army Recreation Center and it was AWESOME! It had a pool, splash pad, a long pier for fishing and a place for us to put the jet skiis in the water! We loved having our on jet skiis in Destin and not having to pay a small fortune to rent by the hour! We rode them all around the harbor, to crab island and even out in to the ocean! We did lots of swimming, playing and eating!
The beautiful white sand at Destin!
Alec on the jet skiis when we first anchored at crab island. At first, he wasn't sure that he wanted to get off the jet skis, but finally he did and loved it! The water was a little too deep and the current too strong for him to walk around by himself, but he still had fun!
Eating lunch on a bardge at Crab Island! It was so cool to eat lunch in the middle of the harbor!
There was even a slide on a bardge for the kids to paly on (for a small fee of $10! ha!)
This is how Alec got around at Crab Island!
Who knew you could get wonderful pork sandwiches from a boat restaurant!
Alec LOVED the beach and ocean too! At least as long as he had his goggles on! :)
He was FULL of energy the entire time!!
Even though our hotel didn't have a beach, they did have a HUGE sandbox to play in!
Enjoying the spashpad at the hotel!
Checking out the crabs in the boat launch! I must say, it was semi heartbreaking to hear the "crunch, crunch, crunch" of the crabs everytime we backed the trailer in the boat launch!! The little guys certainly didn't know how to get out of the way and there were hundreds of them!
A blow fish that was caught in a crab trab!! So cool!!!
Sunset at the Harborwalk, while we were waiting on the fireworks! Afterwards, we had a "little discussion" about how you should smile for the camera, even though you don't know the person taking your picture!
Oh my, will he ever go to sleep! This was on the way to the pool about 8:30pm!
Fun at the Crab Trab while waiting on a table!
I'm sure you can imagine that this ended VERY sandy and wet, doesn't everyone like a little sand with their dinner?!?
Someone even got a tatoo at the Crab Trap waiting on supper!
A little smile for the camera!
