When we moved to the Florida panhandle in
February 2000, my sister and her husband and my youngest brother came down
from Missouri to help us move. The weather was beautiful, so after
we moved everything into our new house, we drove down to the coast and did
the tourist thing, starting with the Gulfarium. (Josh got a little tired,
and made the boys carry him around for awhile, as you can see if you click
the thumbnail to the right.)
|
After the Gulfarium, we went next door to
Angler's Bar & Grill. Behind the bar, you can walk out onto the
Okaloosa Pier, and beneath the pier is a great beach with playground
equipment for the kids. The food is delicious, and they make a
really good margarita there, so I highly recommend this place.

sister), Brandon & Jared (my sons), Geoff (my husband), Josh (my
brother).

It was a warm day, but the water was
frigid. Of course, that didn't keep Marya and the kids from getting
wet. And, of course, Brandon had to be buried in the sand so he
could fill my van with the sticky white stuff.
|
The sun was setting, so we decided to call
it a day and come back tomorrow.
|
The next day we packed up a couple of
coolers and went to a public beach in Destin.
|
Josh and Scott had to bury each other, so I
went home with yet more sand in my van. That stuff is almost
impossible to vacuum out of the carpet!
|
We had a really good time, and I hope
they'll come again next spring. This time I won't have to put them
to work unpacking me and putting up curtains and stuff.
