The Destin Beach and Captain Dave's

I still can't believe we did this, but Curt and I rented two waverunners at Harbor Village in Destin and rode them in the GULF. OF. MEXICO! This was initially my idea and I felt like I had to talk Curt into it at first, but it ended up that Curt loved it and would do it again today, and I was scared to death and will never do it again for sure!

Curt loved the thrill of jumping the waves out in the gulf and went as far out and as deep as he could, (like headed to Mexico, if you get my drift!). I preferred to stay near the shore where the water was more shallow, and where I could be seen (and heard) by as many people as possible just in case I fell off the darn thing! I really didn't enjoy it like I thought I would, but at the end, I was glad Curt and I had that adventure together. Anybody else want to volunteer to ride with Curt next time?



We were so excited to find this restaurant where we ate on our honeymoon, but couldn't eat there because it was not open for lunch! We made a really short video of it because we forgot our camera. The food was fab-u-lous when we were there before. Has anybody else ever eaten here?




We know people's home video's of their vacation are really boring but this is a really short video we took when we finally made it to the beach in Destin. We literally pulled off on the side of the road, changed in a hotel bathroom, and then ran to the beach to get as much beach time as possible because it was late in the afternoon. In this video, Curt is putting up our umbrella and I am just enjoying the gorgeous beach! It was really one of the best afternoons ever, spending time together on the beach with no kids, and just enjoying the peace!
