Florida: The drive and first two days

Keith had spring break in late March so we decided to take advantage of an off season break and traveled to Destin, Florida with our good friends Brittany and Tanner Barratt. I can't take any credit for planning the trip. Brit did it all and found us a fabulous condo for a killer price. All we had to do was survive the trip with two little girls...

The girls did much better on the drive than anticipated. We left a little before 5 AM and only had a minor issue with our coolant and fought Kenzie to go potty all morning. We took turns driving and arrived in Florida around 4 PM.

Our first view of the ocean 

We went to the beach Monday as soon as we arrived. It was windy but beautiful. Mackenzie thought the sand was snow, it's so white there. We had a great time and came home for some rest back at the condo that night. The next morning, we got up bright and early. I tried to run with Brit on the beach but my knee just wouldn't let me. When we got back form our run, we packed up the kids, some lunch and gear and walked the 5 minutes to our little area of the beach.

 Kenzie loves her daddy so much and had a blast building sand castles with him 

Clara did great relaxing in the pack n' play

I know this picture is stunning of me, it's one of about 3 I have of me from the trip. I'm digging a little pool here in hopes that Kenzie would get comfortable in her little pool and brave the ocean a little bit. I can't take credit for this plan, it was Keith's and it worked
