More Beach Vacation Fun

 Aside from spending a chunk of each day of our vacation at the beach, we had some other fun at our condo and in town during our beach vacation.

We always look forward to seeing the ocean for the first time as soon as we arrive at our condo. After a long day of driving this view makes everything worth it. 

Breakfast on the balcony is another tradition. Snuggly mornings in our pjs enjoying some delicious donuts are some of my favorite beach vacation memories.

These donuts are my all-time favorites! I look forward to them every year. 

One afternoon after the beach we played Goofy Golf, another beach vacation tradition. I stil remember the first time Matt and I played when I visited him on a work trip back in 2010!

Things look a little different these days. 

Another afternoon, we drove over to a local science museum. Our Discovery Lab passes allow us to visit other museums for free, so we decided to check it out. 

Even though it was tiny, the kids still played for a few hours. They sure know how to explore a science museum. 

Evening swims after dinner also happened regularly. 

Matt is kind enough to drive into Destin twice during our trip to get fresh donuts. 

Our kids wake up so early on vacation, that we usually played a game or two before heading down to the beach in the mornings. Disney Code Names, Camel Up and Survive the Island were this year's favorite games. 

We did a little souvenir shopping one afternoon. Sam and Elisabeth wanted baseball caps, and Nathan and Katherine got new shirts. 

Our balcony views are my favorite. 

Matt and I escaped for a date night one evening and ate at Boshamps for the first time. It was delicious- perfect for a date night. 

After dinner we walked around the Destin outdoor mall and grabbed some ice cream. A perfect night!

Our last day called for rain, so the boys decided to drive to Pensacola and visit an air force museum. The girls and I opted to stay back at the condo. We read, watched a movie, and played some games. Not bad for a rainy morning. 

The boys had fun too!

Our (mostly) annual beach vacation holds so many memories. There is something special about visiting the same destination every year.
