Labor Day weekend in Destin!

Kalee and I took a quick trip to Destin over Labor Day weekend - we had so much fun! We stayed with my childhood best friend, Carmen, and her family. On Saturday we kayaked in the Bay to a sandbar known as Crab Island and searched for hermit crabs. The water was so beautiful...and Kalee and I both LOVE to be out on the water, so it was a perfect day! Kalee and Carmen had fun finding all these hermit crabs.

They have food and drink barges in the middle of the sandbar...and then Kalee spotted the "ice cream boat"...so OF COURSE we had to have a cool snack!

Saturday evening we decided to hit the beach. Carmen had heard that the seaweed was really coming in, but we figured the girls wouldn't mind...and they didn't until it was time to leave. I figured it would be clumps of seaweed (like at Cocoa Beach), but no...this was like pureed seaweed...little tiny pieces EVERYWHERE. I had to wash Kalee's hair 3 times to get it all out - so gross!

Waiting for our turn to go...PARASAILING!Flying through the sky! Kalee LOVED it!

Sunday night we went to ride go-karts...at the end of the 3 minutes Kalee looked at me and said "this was the best part of my day"!

While we were parasailing we scouted out the parts of the shore that seemed to be seaweed free - and enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL morning at the beach on Monday, before we hit the road.

We could have stayed at the beach all day! I can't wait for our next Destin trip!
