Homeward Bound

Saying Goodbye to Destin 

Our home away from home for the week is the beige house on the left.

This was our walkway to the beach.

Andy, Savannah and I had to take one last look at the ocean before take-off.

One young family was enjoying the morning on the beach, and the lady offered to get a picture of the three of us.  She says she never misses an opportunity to take a picture.  They were flying out later that morning.


We enjoyed the drive home. Zach got some more driving time logged, but there were some challenges in that.  Our best quote came from Julia.  We stopped for lunch and Wyatt let us know that he wanted a man sized sandwich.  Julia told him that if he wants to be a man, he needs to exercise more, play more sports, and grow hair in his armpits.  We are so relieved to know that Julia is an expert in helping her brother keep his man card.

When we stopped for supper, Wyatt met his match.  He barely finished the Son of Baconator sandwich at Wendy's. He told us it would have been easier without the fries and drink.  For the record he did not eat many fries.


On our way home we took a small detour to visit Andy's alma mater.  It was fun to drive through a pretty college campus with the kids.  We were tired, and it was late or we might have walked some of it.

We arrived safely home with great memories and much appreciation for my dad.  We could not have gone on vacation this year, but Dad covered the cost and actually sent us home with lots of groceries.  Thanks Dad!
