The Emerald Coast

Have you ever been to Florida's Emerald Coast?  If you haven't-make it your next vacation destination. Warm air, white sand, and blue water.  So, so pretty!  I always told myself I wasn't a beach person.  Why did I say that?  Apparently, I had never really been to the beach.  I had been to Florida as a child, but there was a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico at the time and we couldn't get in the water.  I grew up in central Illinois; I was land locked and had no idea what I was missing.  I had been to Indiana Beach and a few other places, but they were all lakes. After visiting Destin, Florida I can safely and confidently say that I AM a Beach  Person, well if its a nice beach.  I am still a picky person.  ;)

Levi, after a little warming up, decided he could be a beach person too.

 Isn't it gorgeous?

 Levi took his first of two bike rides.  They're in matching polos, by the way.  :)

 We were with Josh's parents and his brother Kyle's family.

 See, I can fit in here.  I will not shudder at the thought of going to a beach from now on.
