The Rays: Our Vacation

Last week we went on vacation to the beach - Destin. We actually stayed in a beach house off 30-A in between Seagrove and Rosemary beach. We went with Brad's cousins and had a blast!!! We also got to see Brad's brother, sister-in-law, and nephews who were staying at Blue Mountain beach. We ate at a lot of yummy places while we were there and did a little shopping, too. We also enjoyed watching some amazing fireworks from the beach. We could see fireworks from every where. I had never been on the beach for the 4th, but really enjoyed it. The only thing I missed was not hearing the patriotic music. Brad and Brandon, his cousin, tried to sing for me but it was not the same. Even so the fireworks were great! Here are some of my pics.

This is Brad trying to fix baby Wesley's hair. I think baby Wesley is thinking, "Brad are you sure you can do this?"

The cousins - TJ, Brittany, Wesley, Brandon, Rachel, and Blair

This is a picture at our favorite restaurant down there - Old Florida Fish House. This was our first time to eat there, but a local we met on the beach recommend it to us. We went our last night with the cousins and loved it!!! We highly recommend it to everyone. It is off HWY 30-A passed Seaside on the left (coming from Destin).

Me, Brad, and our baby. Okay not really, but we thought our picture would be cuter with him in it. Isn't he a doll!!! We think so and will take him anytime you want us to Jay and Ashley!!

Brittany, Brandon, and Blair

One more pic of sweet Wesley. That smile is priceless!!!

We had a wonderful time and didn't want to come back home. SOOO we didn't! We actually stayed an extra night thanks to Chuck and Shannon (Brad's brother and sister-in-law). We packed up our stuff at the beach house on Saturday morning and then headed over to Blue Mountain beach to spend one more day on the beach. Before we went to the beach we did eat breakfast at Another Broken Egg Cafe in Grayton Beach which I also highly recommend!! I must add that the beach there was amazing!! We really enjoyed hanging out with Chuck, Shannon, and the boys. They even let us stay the night with them and of course that meant one more night of yummy food. Thank you so much Chuck and Shannon!!! We were still sad to come back, but thankfully I didn't have to go back to work just yet!

Chuck and Shannon - Happy Birthday Shannon!!!

Shannon and Me (the last day and we both got fried. Not on purpose, though. I think we were just both talking so much and enjoying being together that we forgot. Woops)
