Vacation in the "Big City"

We finally took a vacation this year....it was Case's first "official" vacation. He had a BLAST!! We went to Destin for a few days. Case was really excited to see the "BIG CITY" from our ninth floor condo. That is the first thing he said when we open the blinds to the balcony...."Wow...look at the Big City" He could not get over all the lights in the city at night. I guess when you are used to just seeing the stars at night because it is so dark in the country, it is quite an adjustment to see so many lights at one time! Every evening we tried to watch the sunset, but if we missed it because we were out and about...we still sat on the balcony and watched the busyness of city life!

We did lots of FUN stuff while we were there. We took Case to Fudpucker's to eat...but mainly to see the LIVE alligators!! He love that...he watched people feed them and try to catch them with fishing poles. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the food...and Case enjoyed the atmosphere!! I guess that is the longest we have ever stayed at a restaurant after eating!! Case got to ride in a go-cart and go fast fast!We took him to The Track and he had lots of FUN riding on the amusement rides and especially the go-carts....Mommy even took him for a spin!! We spent some time at the beach...jelly fishing!! Yep, the jellyfish were everywhere...so I started to make a sandcastle....only to have a little mischievous little boy trample through it!! Case and Daddy tried to catch a jellyfish or two....but I was so happy that they did not succeed at their attempts. We went to the Gulfarium only to find out Case does not have the least bit interest in or desire to watch Dolphins and Sea Lions!! Now, if they would have been riding TRACTORS they might have had a chance....but even though Case did not care for it...it was a fun experience for Mommy and Daddy!!

I guess if I had to name the one thing Case loved the most it would be the pool at our Condo....it was a Lagoon style pool with a kiddie area. Case is a fish when it comes to water so this by far his favorite past time..swimming in the pool. We had a great time visiting the beach...but next year we are going to try to visit somewhere else!! Who knows we might end up in Moline, Illinois at the John Deere Museum!!!! Now that is a vacation I know he would LOVE hands down!!!!!
