Destin, FL (May 2015)

All 5 of us had a great time during our FL vacation week this year.  The kid's had a blast splitting the week between both sets of Grandparents while we enjoyed time away in the hot Florida sunshine with our good friends.  We stayed up late, slept in, ate fresh seafood, enjoyed the beach, and even conquered a fear of heights para sailing!  Brace yourself for the amount of pictures I took....

Ready to fly!  Destin 2015 here we come.
