7-23-10 Pretty Destin water behind Eliana
Friends:
After a breakneck three days at Universal Studios, it was time for some down time at the beach. We went to Destin, Florida for the pretty water and sugar white sands, still unspoiled by BP Oil.

On our first day at the beach, the water was pretty nice. We swam, played in the sand, and relaxed.

Unfortunately, the second day at the beach wasn’t as great. Tropical Storm Bonnie was off the coast of Miami and wreaking havoc with the Gulf. The water was choppy, currents were strong, and I nearly drowned in an undertow. There was also a TON of slimy seaweed. I looked like the creature from the Black Lagoon. Ugh. But not in this picture! hahahaha

Here is Eliana chillin’ in her cute pink two-piece, listening to her jams.

Here, you can see how dark and green the water is behind Eliana.

But Soleil and Eliana made the most of their time at the beach, constructing a giant, bigger-than-lifesize, mermaid out of sand and seaweed.

Still, we had a wonderful time at the beach, my favorite place in the world to relax.
