Birthday Trip

I had a great birthday this year! Tyler took the day off and we went to Destin, Florida. It was a perfect day!! It started out with breakfast in bed and then a morning at the beach!

We stayed at the Embassy Suites that night and luckily they have a free hot breakfast with an omelet bar, so Tyler went downstairs and ordered me one while I was still sleeping! He also got me my favorite scone from panera bread the night before and warmed it up in the microwave :-) And yes that is a coffee table I was eating off of!


It was a beautiful day at the beach, the sand was so white and the sun was so bright! This resulted in a great day but really squinty faces in our photos unless we were wearing sunglasses!





That afternoon we went shopping at some outlet malls then went to this amazing restaurant, Marina Cafe, for dinner. It was really nice and we had a table that looked out over the water at sunset. The only problem was Jackson ... he was really tired and wasn't on his best behavior so needless to say, we didn't get any pictures.

But after dinner we went and walked around the marina with the little guy and he was much happier ... ok as evidenced by the picture below, maybe not that happy - but at least he wasn't fussy and throwing things anymore!


I couldn't get any good pictures of them, but what Tyler is pointing at is a pod of dolphins! What a birthday treat seeing wild dolphins playing in the water!


When we got back to the hotel I finished opening all my presents, Jackson loved my necklace the most ... can you tell??


Finish it off with a little ice cream and cake from the local Winn Dixie and it was a very memorable day!


The next morning we were off to Point Clear, Alabama! It was just a 2 hour drive from where we were in Florida and Jackson and I hung out at the hotel for 5 days while Tyler had a convention. Lucky for us he had frequent breaks and was able to come play with us a lot! It was such an amazing resort and here are just a bunch of pictures from our stay!











This place was really so beautiful and the pictures don't even do it justice! But now we're back home safe and sound and looking forward to Tyler's birthday and Grandma and Grandpa Jennings coming next week!
